Chords

[Intro] Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D [Verse 1]

Bm
Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the tracks

Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks

Em
Where secrets lie in the border fires and the humming wires

                                   Bm
Well, you know you're never coming back

Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks [Chorus]

     F#7
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man

     E7
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand

[Fill] Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D [Verse 2]

Bm
He'll wrap you in his arms and tell ya that you've been a good boy

He'll rekindle all of those dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy

      Em
He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul

                                               Bm
And there won't be a single thing that you can do

He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru [Chorus]

        F#7
They're whispering his name 'cross this disappearing land

    E7
But hidden in his coat is a red right hand

[Fill] Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D [Verse 3]

Bm
You don't have no money? He'll get you some

If you haven't got no car, he'll get you one

       Em
You've got no self-respect, you feel like an insect

                                             Bm
Well, don't you worry, buddy, 'cause here he comes

Through the ghetto and the barrio And the Bowery and the slums [Chorus]

  F#7
A shadow is cast wherever he stands

E7
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand

[Instrumental Break] Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Em Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D F#7 E7 Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm Bm G Bm Bm G Bm Bm G Bm Bm G Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D [Verse 4]

Bm
You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams

He'll appear out of nowhere, but he's not what he seems

Em
You'll see him in your head and on the TV screen

Hey, buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off

       Bm            Bm          Bm         Bm
He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru

[Chorus]

           F#7
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan

E7
Designed and directed by his red right hand

[Outro] Bm Bm G Bm Bm G Bm Bm G Bm Bm G
