Crd lyr
B Take a little walk to the edge of town, go across the tracks
B Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom, as it shifts and cracks
E Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires
Hey man, you know you're never coming back
B Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks
Gb On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
E In a dusty black coat with a red right hand
B
B
B He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy
B He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy
E He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing that you can do
B He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru
Gb They're whispering his name through this disappearing land
E But hidden in his coat is a red right hand
B
B
B You don't own no money? He'll get you some
B You don't have no car? He'll get you one
E You don't have no self respect, you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy cause here he comes
B Through the ghetto and the barrio and the bowery and the slum
Gb A shadow is cast wherever he stands
E Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
