Chord sequence:  (two bars of each) B B E B F# E B B 
 
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 
 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 
 F# A shadow is cast wherever he stands 
 E  Stacks of green paper in his red right hand 
 B
