Am
   Everybody say God is a good man

   Everybody say God is a good man

   Ah, clock on the world

Am
Driving a dumptruck up to the sun

Am
   A sigh in the human heart
[Chorus]
Am     G           D           G
   I look at the clock on the wall

        Am          G         D         G
It says three minutes to midnight

 Am        G           D      G
Faith is blind when we're so near
[Verse 2]

Phar Lap floating in a jar

Truth gets harder to define

Am
     Talking in tongues
[Chorus]
Am             G         D            G
   But the dancer's hand   grips the rail

    Am            G             D G
And fingers will blister on the 88's

Hope drains out the side of the page

But ears can't hear

What eyes don't see

And you can't see me

Cm G/B [Verse 3]
Am
   Everybody say God is a good man

Am
   Everybody say 1,2,3

   Set up those gunsights in H.G. Wells' backyard

Am
   I.C.B.M.'s, S.S.20's, they lie so dormant, they got so many
[Chorus]

Hope is what you say and do

And you can't see me

    D
But ears can't hear

     F
What eyes don't see

    D
But ears can't hear

           F
What those eyes don't see

F  N.C.
   And you can't see me
