1.  Start tearing the old man down
       E                    Bm                F#m
   Run past the heather and down to the old road

   Start turning the grain into the ground

   In the middle of the night there's an old man 
             Bm                          
   Treading around in the gathered rain

   I think you'd better turn your ticket in
                  A                  D
   And leave your money right at the door

2. Start threading the needle
   Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
   Start turning the wool across the wire
   Roll the new life over
   In the middle of the night there's an old man
   Threading his toes through a bucket of rain
   Hey mister if you want to walk on water 
   You're only going to walk all over me
   
R: Omaha...

3. Start running the banner down
   Drop past the color come up through the summer rain
   Start turning the girl into the ground
   Roll a new life over
   In the middle of the night there's a young man
   Rolling around in the earth and rain
   Hey mister if you're going to walk on water, you know
   You're only going to walk all over me
