[Intro]Bm (4 bars)[Strophe](Bm)Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the tracksWhere the viaduct looms like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracksEmWhere secrets lie in the border fires in the humming wiresBmHey man you know you're never coming backPast the square past the bridge past the mills past the stacksF#7On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome manE7In a dusty black coat with a red right handBm[Strophe](Bm)He'll wrap you in his arms tell you that you've been a good boyHe'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroyEmHe'll reach deep into the hole heal your shrinking soulBmBut there won't be a single thing that you can doHe's a God he's a man he's a ghost he's a gu-ruF#7They're whispering his name through this disappearing landE7But hidden in his coat is a red right handBm[Strophe](Bm)You don't have no money he'll get you someYou don't have no car he'll get you oneEmYou don't have no self respect you feel like an insectBmWell don't you worry buddy 'cause here he comesThrough the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slumF#7A shadow is cast wherever he standsE7Stacks of green paper in his red right handBm[Tab](Bm)E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|B|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
