Chords
[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
BmTake 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
Where Emsecrets 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]
On a F#mgathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a Emdusty black coat with
A red right hand
[Verse 2]
Bm He'll Bmwrap 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 Emreach deep into the hole
Heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing
That you can do Bm
He's a god, he's a man
He's a ghost, he's a guru
[Chorus]
They're F#mwhispering his name
Through this disappearing land
But Emhidden in his coat
Is a red right hand
[Verse 3]
Bm You Bmdon't have no money?
He'll get you some
You don't have no car?
He'll get you one
You Emdon't have no selfrespect
You feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy
'cause here he comes Bm
Through the ghettos and the barrio
And the bowery and the slum
[Chorus]
A F#mshadow is cast wherever he stands
EmStacks of green paper in his
Red right hand Bm
[Solo 1]

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
You to turn it off Bm
He's a ghost, he's a god
He's a man, he's a guru
You're one F#mmicroscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
DeEmsigned and directed by
His red right hand Bm
