[Verse 1]
Bm        D               Bm      D             Bm
Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the
D     Bm D
tracks
          Bm     D             Bm      D                Bm
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom as it shifts
D    Bm    D
 and cracks
      Em
Where secrets lie in the border fires and the humming wires
                      F#m   G     A
Well, you know you're never coming back
Bm     D                    Bm           D
  Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills,
        Bm      D
past the  stacks

[Chorus]
Bm
D     F#m
 On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
     Em
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand

[Verse 2]
Bm           D              Bm         D
  He'll wrap you in his arms  and tell ya that you've been
  Bm   D
a good boy
Bm
D        Bm        D               Bm  D
 He'll rekindle all of those dreams  it took you a
Bm      D          Bm D
lifetime to destroy
      Em
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
                            F#m   G        A
And there won't be a single thing that you can do
Bm     D             Bm        D
  He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost,
       Bm D
he's a guru

[Chorus]
Bm
D        F#m
 They're whispering his name 'cross this disappearing land
    Em
But hidden in his coat is a red right hand

[Verse 3]
Bm         D        Bm     D             Bm  D
  You don't have no money? He'll get you some
Bm D Bm           D
       If you haven't got no car,
Bm D                Bm D
   he'll get you one
Bm D       Em
    You've got no self respect,
you feel like an insect
Well, don't you worry, buddy,
F#m        G  A     Bm        D                  Bm
'cause here he comes  Through the ghetto and the barrows
    D             Bm         D
And the Bowery and  the slums

[Chorus]
Bm D  F#m
    A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Em
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand

[Verse 4]
Bm           D                Bm
  You'll see him in your nightmares,
D                     Bm      D
you'll see him in your  dreams
Bm D      Bm     D         Bm
    He'll appear out of nowhere,
D            Bm D        Bm   D
 but he's not    what he seems
Em
  You'll see him in your head and on the TV screen
Hey, buddy,
            F#m    G       A
I'm warning you to turn it off
Bm     D               Bm        D
  He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man,
       Bm D
he's a guru

[Chorus]
Bm
D           F#m
 You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
  Em
Designed and directed by his red right hand
