Intro:
Em D Em C
Verse:
Em Bm
Start tearing the old man down
D A Em
Run past the heather and down to the old road
Bm C
Start turning the grain into the ground
Em
Roll a new leaf over

Bm D
In the middle of the night there's an old man
A Em
Treading around in the gathered rain
Bm D
Well mister if you want to walk on water
C G
Could you drop a line my way

Chorus:
D Em
Omaha
C
Somewhere in middle America
G D C
Get right to the heart of matters
G D
It's the heart that matters more
Em A C
I think you'd better turn your ticket in
G
And get your money back at the door

Verse 2:
Start threading a needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire
Roll the new life over
In the middle of the night there's an old man
Threading his toes through a bucket of rain
Hey mister you don't want to walk on water
You're only going to walk all over me

[Chorus]

Repeat chorus and verse patterns. Listen to the song for the beat
