Verse 1
Take a Amlittle 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 Dmsecrets lie in the border fires in the humming wires
Hey man you know you're never coming Amback
Past the square past the bridge past the mills past the stacks
On a E7gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a D7dusty black coat with a red right hand
Am
Verse 2
He'll Amwrap 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 Dmreach deep into the hole heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing that you can Amdo
He's a God he's a man he's a ghost he's a gu-ru
They're E7whispering his name through this disappearing land
But D7hidden in his coat is a red right hand
Am
Verse 3
You Amdon't have no money he'll get you some
You don't have no car he'll get you one
You Dmdon't have no self respect you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy 'cause here he Amcomes
Through the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum
A E7shadow is cast wherever he stands
D7Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
Am

Verse 4
You'll Amsee 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 offAm
He's a ghost he's a God he's a man he's a gu-ru
You're one E7microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
De-D7signed and directed by his red right hand
