Intro
Bm (4 bars)
Verse 1
Take a [(Bm)]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 [Em]secrets lie in the border fires in the humming wires
Hey man you know you're never coming [Bm]back
Past the square past the bridge past the mills past the stacks
On a [F#7]gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a [E7]dusty black coat with a red right hand
[Bm]
Verse 2
He'll [(Bm)]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 [Em]reach deep into the hole heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing that you can [Bm]do
He's a God he's a man he's a ghost he's a gu-ru
They're [F#7]whispering his name through this disappearing land
But [E7]hidden in his coat is a red right hand
[Bm]
Verse 3
You [(Bm)]don't have no money he'll get you some
You don't have no car he'll get you one
You [Em]don't have no self respect you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy 'cause here he [Bm]comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum
A [F#7]shadow is cast wherever he stands
[E7]Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
[Bm]

Verse 4
You'll[(Bm)] 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
Hey buddy I'm warning you to turn it off[Bm]
He's a ghost he's a God he's a man he's a gu-ru
You're one [F#7]microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
De-[E7]signed and directed by his red right hand
