INTRO

VERSE
Am Cain slew Abel; Seth knew not why
Dm For if the children of Israel, were 'sposed to Ammultiply
Am/E Why must E7any of the Am/EchildE7ren Amdie?
So he Am/Easked the Lord,E7 and the Lord said
CHORUS
Am/E Man means E7nothing;Am/E he means E7less to Amme A7/C#
Dm Than the lowliest A7cactus flower,Dm or the humblestA7 Yucca Dmtree
Am/E He chases round this E7desert, 'cos he Amthinks that's C7/Gwhere I'll F7be
Am/E That's why I E7love mankAmind E7[LINK]
CHORUS
Am I recoil in E7#5hor- E7ror,Am/E from the E7foulness of Amthee A7/C#
Dm From the squalor and the A7filth,Dm and the A7miseDmry
Am/E How we laugh up in here in E7heaven, at the Amprayers youC7/G offer F7me
Am/E That's why I E7love mankind
INTERLUDE
| Am | % |
VERSE
Am The Christians and the Jews,Am were having a jamboree,
Dm The Buddhists and the Hindus, joined onAm satellite TV
Am/E They picked their four greatest E7priests,
Am/E And they beE7gan to Amspeak
VERSE
They said "LorAmd, a plague is on the wAmorld; Lord, no man is free
Dm The temples that we built to you,Am have tumbled into the sea
Am/ELord, if you won't take E7care of us, won't you Am/Eplease, please E7let us Ambe?"
And the Am/ELord said E7
And the C/GLord said E/G#
CHORUS
Am/E I burn down your E7cities;Am/E how E7blind you must Ambe A7
Dm I take from you your A7children, and you say; Dm"A7;How blessedDm are we!"
Am/E You all must be E7crazy,Am to put your C7/Gfaith in F7me
Am/E That's why I E7love man-Amkind; you Dsus4(add9)really need Dm(no5)me
Am/E That's why I E7love mankind
