Intro: Bm

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

In the humming wires

Hey man, you know

You're never coming back
Bm
  Past the square, past the Bridge

Past the mills, past the stacks

Chorus:
     Gbm
On a gathering storm comes

a tall handsome man
     Em
In a dusty black coat with

a red right hand

Verse 2:
Bm      Bm
  He'll 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
      Em
He'll reach deep into the hole

Heal your shrinking soul

But there won't be a single thing
               Bm
That you can do

He's a god, he's a man

He's a ghost, he's a guru

Chorus:
        Gbm
They're whispering his name

Through this disappearing land
    Em
But hidden in his coat

Is a red right hand

Verse 3:
Bm    Bm
  You don't have no money?

He'll get you some

You don't have no car?

He'll get you one
    Em
You don't have no selfrespect

You feel like an insect

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

Through the ghettos and the barrio

And the bowery and the slum

Chorus:
  Gbm
a shadow is cast wherever he stands
Em
Stacks of green paper in his
              Bm
Red right hand

Interlude: Bm

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 ain't what he seems
Em
  You'll see him in your head

On the TV screen

And hey buddy, I'm warning
                  Bm
You to turn it off

He's a ghost, he's a god

He's a man, he's a guru
           Gbm
You're one microscopic cog

In his catastrophic plan
  Em
Designed and directed by
                  Bm
His red right hand
