[Verse 1]
Am                  F
Pretty teeth scrapy clean
       D       F
With a wind-up machine
    D            F
I'm feeling very striking
     D           F      Am  G  Am
It's taken to my liking
       Am           D        F
It's a fine man who cups his breath
       D       F 
With a will to please
D                     C  Am
Wipey hand across the blazer

[Verse 2]
Am                   F
 No one here makes a sound
         D             F
Standing up or sitting down
   D             F
We grin like alligators
D               F     Am  G  Am
Assist with apparatus
          Am              D     F
There's a strange feeling in my mind
        D          F 
And the room's too warm
D                       C   Am
And lit with MacDonalds lighting

[Bridge]
D       A        B      C  D
And the tool that falls forever
E       F#           G#         Am
Falling down planes against the grain
D      F            D          F
Of the wood for the box for my soul
       D      A    B  C  D   E  F#  G#    A  B  C  D   E  F#  G#
And my aching heart
A   B     C  D    E       F#           G#
 The tool forever falling down planes again and
A   B     C  D    E       F#           G#
 The tool forever falling down planes again and

[Chorus]
Am         D              F         Am                 D
All of the noise takes me to the outside where there's all
          Am                     Bb            Am
Creations joining in celebrating happiness and joy
     E               C       F   Am     D
All around the world on land and in the sea
Am         D              F         Am                D
All of the noise takes me to the ouside where there's all
          Am                     Bb            Am
Creations joining in celebrating happiness and joy
     E               C       F   Am     D
All around the world on land and in the sea... in the sea!
