  			Red Right Hand 

Standard tuning 


Bm 
Take a little walk to the edge of town 
and go across the tracks 
Bm 
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 
Bm 
Past the square, past the bridge, 
past the mills, past the stacks 
F#m 
On a gathering storm comes 
a tall handsome man 
     E 
in a dusty black coat with 
                 Bm 
a red right hand 
Bm 
He'll wrap you in his arms, 
tell you that you've been a good..boy 
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 
Bm 
He's a god, he's a man, 
he's a ghost, he's a guru 
F#m 
They're whispering his name 
through this disappearing land 
    E 
But hidden in his coat 
                    Bm 
is a red right hand 
Bm 
You don't have no money? 
He'll get you some 
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 
Bm 
Through the ghettos and the barrio 
and the bowery and the slum 
  F#m 
A shadow is cast wherever he stands 
E 
Stacks of green paper in his 
red right hand 

Bm 

(Solo) 

Bm,G  X 4 

Bm 
You'll see him in your nightmares, 
you'll see him in your dreams 
He'll appear out of nowhere but 
he ain't what he seems 
E 
You'll see him in your head, 
on the TV screen 
And hey buddy, I'm warning 
you to turn it off 
Bm 
He's a ghost, he's a god, 
he's a man, he's a guru 
           F#m 
You're one microscopic cog 
in his catastrophic plan 
  E 
Designed and directed by his 
Red right hand 
Bm 

(Solo) 

Bm,G  X6 

Bm
