	        (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 
                    Bm 
Hey man you know you're never coming back 
Past the square past the bridge past the mills past the stacks 
  F#7 
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man 
   E7                                      Bm 
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand 

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 
                               Bm 
But there won't be a single thing that you can do 
He's a God he's a man he's a ghost he's a gu-ru 
    F#7 
They're whispering his name through this disappearing land 
  E7 
But hidden in his coat is a red right hand 
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 self respect you feel like an insect 
                         Bm 
Well don't you worry buddy 'cause here he comes 
Through the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum 
 F#7 
A shadow is cast wherever he stands 
E7 
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand 

( Bm  Gm7   Bm   Gm7   Bm ) 

      (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 
                        Bm 
Hey buddy I'm warning you to turn it off 
He's a ghost he's a God he's a man he's a gu-ru 
       F#7 
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan 
 E7 
De-signed and directed by his red right hand  
   
( Bm   Gm7   Bm   Gm7   Bm ) 
( Gm7   Bm   Gm7   Bm )
