C
When they closed the last shopping mall
F C
Crickets sang in crumbling walls
Am Dm
Termites ate through the doors
G
And rabbits hopped along the floors
C
The empty shelves swarmed with bees
F C
Cash machines sprouted weeds
Am Dm
Lizards crawled the parking lot
G
Swallows flew the empty shops
Am Dm G
And there was peace in the valley once again
C F C Am Dm G

Harmonica arr. for guitar
C
Plants grew up the mannequins
F C
Painting them with leafy skin
Am Dm
Their plastic eyes fell to the floor
G
And were carried off by wild boars
C
All the mirrors cracked in half
F C
When wild horses galloped past
Am Dm
And mourning doves built their nests
G
On the escalator steps
Am Dm G
And there was peace in the valley once again
Am Dm G
And there was peace in the valley once again
