[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
[F#]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
[F#]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
[A] 
[F#]shadow is cast wherever he stands
[E]Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
