Etta James - God's song (that's why i love mankind)

^BbmCain slew Abel, Seth knew not why For if the ^Dmchildren of Israel were supposed to ^Bbmmultiply ^F7Why must any of the^Bbm chil^Abdren^F#7 die? So he ^Fasked the Lord, and the ^F7Lord said:

^Bbm"Man means n^Fmothing, he means ^Bbmless ^Fmto ^BbmMe than the ^Dmlowliest cactus ^Bb7flower or ^Dmhumblest ^Bb7yucca ^Dmtree. He c^F7hases round this desert 'cause he ^Bbmthinks that's ^Abwhere I'll ^F#7be ^FThat's why I love ^Bbmmankind." ^Fm7

^Bbm"I recoil in^Fm horror from the ^Bbmfoulnes^Fms of ^Bbmthee. From the ^Dmsqualor and the ^Bb7filth and the ^Dmmis..^Bb7.er...^Dmy. H^F7ow we laugh up here in heaven at the ^Bbmprayers you^Ab offer ^F#7Me. ^FThat's why I love ^Bbmmankind" [Riff 2x]

^BbmThe Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree. The ^DmBuddhists and the Hindu j^Bbmoined on satellite TV ^F7They picked their four greatest priests And ^Bbmthey ^Abbegan to ^F#7speak

^BbmAnd they said, "Lord, a plague is on the world, Lord, no man is free. ^DmThe temples that we built to you ^Bbmtumbled into the sea Lord, ^Fif you won't take care of us, won't you ^Bbmplease just^Ab let us^F#7 be?" And the ^FLord said, and the Lord said:

^Bbm "I burn down your^Fm cities, how ^Bbmblind y^Fmou must ^Bbmbe I ^Dmtake from you your ^Bb7children and you say, '^DmHow b^Bb7lessed are ^Dmwe?' Y^F7ou all must be crazy to ^Bbmput your fa^Abith in ^F#7Me ^FThat's why I love ^Bbmmankind You really ^F#need Me ^FThat's why I love ^Bbm7mankind"
