[Intro]
Bb           Eb
Kaayyyyyyyyy-Mart

[Verse 1]
                          Bb Ab Eb
You found the road to heaven
                        Bb Ab Eb
No matter which direction
                 Gm    C
Across the intersection
                    F F7
You feel the open door
                      Bb Ab Eb
You got a nose for stores
                    D     Gm
Here in a town that shares
              Eb
And everybody stares
                F
At everyone who cares
                   Eb Gm Cm
About the shopping wars

[Verse 2]
                     Bb Ab Eb
The bible belt pulls tighter
                      Bb Ab Eb
Or it's the flat-land fever
                  Gm     C
That makes a true believer
                F   F7
Out of a child wife
                      Bb Ab Eb
Who seems to love her life
                    D  Gm
She keeps her man alive
                  Eb
By having what it takes
                     F
To carve a man-sized steak
                     Eb Gm Cm
With just a butter knife

[Verse 3]
                  Gm                   Eb
And any back yard preacher with a barbecue
                      F                   Bb
Can show the shortest route with just one hand
                 Gm                          Eb
So every Sunday fool who strayed from Sunday school
                      F
To clean his swimming pool could understand

[Verse 4]
                     Bb Ab Eb
That it's a common future
                     Bb Ab Eb
The calm before the storming
                     Gm    C
The lines are always forming
                     F  F7
The signs are always clear
                     Bb Ab Eb
There's not a trace of fear
                        D   Gm
If there's a blue light blinking
                        Eb
The parish pawns aren't thinking
                       F
They've replaced the cleric
               Eb Gm Cm
With generic beer

[Chorus]
              C
We're all the same
             F
We've all be planned
             C
From coast to coast
           C
We like to boast
              C
There is most certainly
                  F
A K-Mart close at hand
           A
We make a stand
            Dm
Live day to day
          Eb
And if we need another stray part
            F                         Eb Gm Cm
There will surely be a K-Mart on the way

[Verse 5]
                           Bb Ab Eb
And there are school yard dealers
                   Bb Ab Eb
In towns the maps forgot
                             Gm
You place a call and psychic healers
                           C
Put out all their psychic feelers
               F F7
In the parking lot
                       Bb Ab Eb
And when the pavement's hot
                    D Gm
If you can hitch a ride
               Eb
You go to buy ad infinitum
              F
Touch and try out every item
                Eb Gm Cm
Just to stay inside

[Verse 6]
                     Gm
And any loser with a licence
                  Eb
And boozer with a cause
                     F
Will be anything but lost
                       Bb
Every town is just the same
                         Gm
If it's Broadway or it's First Street
                            Eb
Or it's Main Street or it's Church Street
                      F
The only thing that's different is the name

[Chorus]

        C
We live forever
          F
We get to play

It is our destiny that calls
         C
In Texas twangs and southern drawls

And when they tear apart the malls
            F
The K-Marts stay
            A
We foot the bills
           Dm
We show no fear
              Eb
And when more settlers come our way
             F                             Eb Gm Cm
Start making plans for extra K-Marts over here

[Bridge]
         Gm
And the churches were all empty

And the city streets were cleared
      Cm
With all God's speed
        Gm
For the Lord will lead all humans

To the store where all consumers
      Cm
Go to feed
               Ab
He'll take the stranded from their driveways

Down the endless business highways
       Eb
On the path of least resistance
       F
To the neon in the distance
Bb  Gm  Eb F   Bb Gm Eb F     Bb Gm Eb F
Kayyyyyy-Mart, Kayyyyyy-Mart, Kayyyyy-Mart

[Verse 7]
                   Bb Ab Eb
You've got that TV smile
                   Bb Ab Eb
You saved another dollar
                    Gm   C
Another brand name scholar
                     F F7
Who's got a box of wine
                   Bb Ab Eb
You read between the lines
                       D Gm
You made it through the aisles
                   Eb
Until the bargains stop
                          F
You'll take the cart and shop
                     Eb Gm Cm
Right up to closing time

[Chorus]
          C
We aim to please
          F
We never stray
              C
From start to end

We recommend
                                         F
That everybody learn to spend the K-Mart way
              A
We've got our pride
             Dm
We're well defined
            Eb
And when it comes the time to pay
              F                           Eb Gm Cm
Smart people head for any K-Mart they can find
               C
We've seen the light
          F
We're not alone
        C
And any start that's half awake

Jumps in the car and goes to make
           F
The K-Mart home
             A
We've on our knees
            Dm
We're well behaved
(Slower)
            Eb
And when it comes to judgement day
             F
Smart people know that all the K-Marrrts
         Bb Bb/A Bb/G Bb/F Bb
Well be saved
