[G]Mount St. Helens is [Cadd9]about to blow up
[Em7]And it's gonna be [A7]a fine, swell day
[Amaj7]Everything's gonna fall down to [Dsus4]the ground and turn grey
[G]All of my friends, family, and [Cadd9]animals are probably going to run away
[G]But me, I'm feeling curious, so [C]I think I just might stay
[Em7]The Dow Jones just fell down to zero [A7]and it's gonna be a fine, swell day
[D7]And I wonder if it's gonna [G]be as good a day as yesterday
[G]All of these business [Cadd9]suits that I've just purchased
[G]Gonna have to [Em/A]throw them all away
[Amaj7]And slip into something more reasonable [Dsus4]and then dance the night away
[G]I'm riding [Cadd9]a pony
[G]Into [Cadd9]the sunset
[G]Everything's green [C]and gold
[G]So I'm not [C]in hell yet
[Cm]And the people who work [Bm7]in my office went on vacation
[Em7]'Cause they say that I haven't [A7]been paying them very much anymore
[D7]Mount St. Helens has [G]a pretty cool gift shop
[G]And I haven't been [Cadd9]there in a while
[G]And I've been wondering [Em/A]if it's even still there?
[Amaj7]And the climate [Dsus4]has been changing
[Amaj7]And soon it's [Dsus4]gonna change more
[G]And we'll figure out all of [Cadd9]the details in climate change court
[G]Take a ride [C]on my blimp
[G]Oh, it's a [C]very strong blimp
[Cm]You can watch [Bm7]movies and play games
[Cm]While riding [Bm7]on it
[Em7]When the sun goes down [A7]and the sky burns out
[D7]We'll never [G]slow down
[G]Oh, we're [Cadd9]not going down
[G]Mount St. Helens is [Em/A]feeling crazy and adventurous
[Amaj7]That's the reason [Dsus4]that it's so special
[G]And it [Cadd9]takes no answers
[G]And it [C]gives no questions
[Cm]And it [Bm7]makes no excuses
[Em7]And it [A7]really doesn't listen
[D7]And it [G]seems so eccentric
[G]And it [Cadd9]looks so active
[G]And it [Em/A]dreams of puppies
[Amaj7]And it's [Dsus4]filled with music
