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 Solo 1: Bm Em Bm Gbm Em Bm Bridge: Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm G 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 Solo 2: Bm Em Bm Gbm Em Bm Bridge: Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm G Outro: Bm G Bm G Bm
