Bang the small rocks on the big ones
Dm
'Til the small ones are sharp and clean
G Gm
Catch something, kill something
Bb
New blade cuts real keen
[Chorus]
F Am Bb
And then the grass grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge
F C F
Half a world away from the Olduvai Gorge
[Verse]
F
Chew these roots for a toothache
Dm
Chew these ones for atmosphere
Gm
Dream the pleasant dreams that people dream
Bb
When they grow up down here
[Chorus]
F Am Bb
And then the grass grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge
F C F
Half a world away from the Olduvai Gorge

Take care of the old man
F
See if he's in pain
Gm
Have somebody stay with him
Bb
Comfort him when he complains
F
Keep to ourselves mostly
Dm
Few friends and fewer closer friends
Gm G
Lead a long life if you're lucky
Bb
Hope it never ends
[Chorus]
F Am Bb
And then the grass grows up to cover up the fire pit and the forge
F C F
Half a world away from the Olduvai Gorge
