Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Red right hand

^BmTake a little walk to the edge of town and go across the tracks ^BmWhere the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom As it shifts..and cracks Where ^Esecrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires Hey man, you know you're never coming..back ^BmPast the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks ^F#mOn a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man in a ^Edusty black coat with a red right hand ^{Bm 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 He'll ^Ereach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul, but there won't be a single thing that you can do ^BmHe's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru ^F#mThey're whispering his name through this disappearing land But ^Ehidden in his coat is a red right hand ^{Bm Bm}You don't have no money? He'll get you some You don't have no car? He'll get you one You ^Edon't have no self-respect, you feel like an insect Well don't you worry buddy, 'cause here he comes ^BmThrough the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum A ^F#mshadow is cast wherever he stands ^EStacks of green paper in his red right hand

^BmYou'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 ^EYou'll see him in your head, on the TV screen And hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off ^BmHe's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru You're one ^F#mmicroscopic cog in his catastrophic plan De^Esigned and directed by his Red right hand Bm
