Red Right Hand - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
[Intro]
[Am] [Am] [Am] [Am]
[Verse 1]
Take a [Am]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
Where [Dm]secrets lie in the border fires in the humming wires
Hey man you know you're never coming [Am]back
Past the square past the bridge past the mills past the stacks
On a [E7]gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a [D7]dusty black coat with a red right hand
[Am]
[Verse 2]
He'll [Am]wrap you in his arms tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll [Dm]reach deep into the hole heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing that you can [Am]do
He's a God he's a man he's a ghost he's a gu-ru
They're [E7]whispering his name through this disappearing land
But [D7]hidden in his coat is a red right hand
[Am]
[Verse 3]
You [Am]don't have no money he'll get you some
You don't have no car he'll get you one
You [Dm]don't have no self respect you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy 'cause here he [Am]comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum
A [E7]shadow is cast wherever he stands
[D7]Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
[Am]
[Instrumental + Kazoo]
[Am] [F#m] [Am] [F#m] [Am]
[Verse 4]
You'll [Am]see him in your nightmares you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems
[Dm] You'll see him in your head on the TV screen
Hey buddy I'm warning you to turn it off[Am]
He's a ghost he's a God he's a man he's a gu-ru
You're one [E7]microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
De-[D7]signed and directed by his red right hand
