[Verse 1]

C#m  C
C#m  C

C#m                          C
    At the refreshment stand
C#m                            C
    A boy throws out his hands
C#m                             C
    As if to feed the starlings
C#m                              C
    But really he throws nothing
D                                G
    It's just to watch them jump
D                         G
    See the people coming
C#m                               C
    They're moving over the grass
C#m                                C
    To squeeze into plastic chairs


[Chorus 2]

D            G            F           Am
All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln
D            G            F           Am
All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln
D            G            F           Am
All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln
D            G            F           Am
All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln


[Verse 2]

C#m  C
C#m  C

C#m                           C
    Three notes, a bugle call
C#m                         C
    A black man in overalls
C#m                            C
    Arrives to empty the trash
C#m                           C
    Hauls it to a metal hatch
D                      G
    A doorway opens up
D                     G
    To the underworld
C#m                            C
    The boy throws empty hands
C#m                        C
    And the starlings jump


[Chorus 3]

D            G            F           Am
All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln
D            G            F           Am
All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln
D            G            F           Am
All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln
D            G            F           Am
All near the memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln
