Wheeling, soaring, gliding by

On a hill there lived a man with many shining things 
A          G                     A            G? 
Shiny pool, shiny car and shiny diamond rings

Wining, dining, shining king

?In his hand a moving picture of the crumbling land

 Screaming, dealing, groovy man

A         G                           A               G

A               G                         A           G

Climbing, crying through the sky

Then wheeling in a climbing turn he flies into the sun
