            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 C
