Another blues ditty:
Infrastructure BluesJames McCormick, August 13, 2007
[G]Everything is crumbling, [G]rusting, rotting away
[G]Pipes and roads and bridges [G7]steadily decay.
[C]Nothing is forever [C]that's a guarantee
The [G]only thing that's constant is [G]cosmic entropy.
When [D7]galaxies collide the [C7]elements renew
[G]That is why I'm singing the infrastructure [D7]blues.
. . . .
[G]Scientists say it started with a [G]bang that was large
[G]Fundamentalists insist there's a [G7]deity in charge.
[C]Tooth fairy loonies say it's [C]all some kind of spell
[G]Optimists keep smiling [G]deep in their wishing well.
But the [D7]civil engineers say the [C7]piper's pay is due
So [G]join me now in singing the infrastructure [D7]blues.
. . . .
[G]Ashes go to ashes, [G]dust goes into dust
[G]Concrete goes to gravel, [G7]iron goes to rust.
[C]Dinosaurs go to fossils, [C]empires go to ruin
Don't [G]matter who you are, or [G]who your lawyers suing.
Our [D7]house of cards is burning, that [C7]news is nothing new
[G]That is why I'm singing the [D7]infrastructure [G]blues.
