[ 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 and the humming wires
Bm
well , you know you’re never coming back
past the square , past the bridge , past the mills , past the stacks

[ chorus ]
F#7
on a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
E7
in a dusty black coat with a red right hand

[ verse 2 ]
Bm
he’ll wrap you in his arms and tell ya that you’ve been a good boy
he’ll rekindle all of those dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy
Em
he’ll reach deep into the hole , heal your shrinking soul
Bm
and 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 guru

[ chorus ]
F#7
they’re whispering his name ’cross this disappearing land
E7
but hidden in his coat is a red right hand

[ verse 3 ]
Bm
you don’t have no money? he’ll get you some
if you haven’t got no car , he’ll get you one
Em
you’ve got no self – respect , you feel like an insect
Bm
well , don’t you worry , buddy , ’cause here he comes
through the ghetto and the barrows
and the bowery and the slums

[ chorus ]
F#7
a shadow is cast wherever he stands
E7
stacks of green paper in his red right hand

[ 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’s not what he seems
Em
you’ll see him in your head and on the tv screen
hey , buddy , i’m warning you to turn it off
Bm Bm Bm Bm
he’s a ghost , he’s a god , he’s a man , he’s a guru

[ chorus ]
F#7
you’re one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
E7
designed and directed by his red right hand
