No Man`s Land - Billy Joel
Transcribed: Dirk Cushenbery (dirkcush@pdq.net)
The chords to the other verses/choruses are identical to the first verse/chorus.
Intro: [E7]
verse 1
[E]I`ve seen those [G]big machines come [D]rolling through the [A]quiet pines
[E]Blue Suits and [G]bankers with their [D]Volvos and their [A]valentines
[E]Give us this [G]day our daily [D]discount outlet [A]merchandise
[E]Raise up a [G]multiplex and [D]we will make a [A]sacrifice
[B]Now we`re gonna get the [A/B]big business
[B]Now we`re gonna get the [A/B]real thing
[B]Everybody`s all excited about it
Chorus:
[C]Who remembers when it [G]all began [D]out here in [E]No man`s Land
[C]Before they passed the [G]master plan [D]out here in [E]No man`s Land
[C]Low supply and [G]high demand [D]here in No man`s [E]Land
Verse 2
There aint much work out here in our consumer power base
No major industry, just miles and miles of parking space
This morning`s paper says our neighbor`s in a cocaine bust
Lots more to read about Lolita and suburban lust
Now we`re gonna get the whole picture
Now we`re gonna be in prime time
Everybody`s all excited about it
Chorus 2
Who remembers when it all began out here in No man`s Land
We`ve just begun to understand out here in No man`s Land
Low supply and high demand here in No man`s Land
Verse 3
I see these children with their boredom and their vacant stares
God help us all if we`re ot blame for their unanswered prayers
They roll the sidewalks up at night, this place goes underground
Thanks to the Condo Kings there`s cable now in Zombietown
Now we`re gonna get the closed cicuit
Now we`re gonna get the top 40
Now we`re gonna get the sporsts franchise
Now we`re gonna get the major attractions
Chorus 4
Who remembers when it all began out here in No man`s Land
Before the whole world was in our hands out here in No man`s Land
before the banners and the marching bands out here in No man`s Land
Low supply and high demand here in No man`s Land
