          Am
Well, the cowboy came from out of the west
         D                       C
With his snakeskin boots and his bullet proof vest
Am
Gang of goons and his big war chest
E7                    D
Fortunate son, he was doubly blessed
D7
Corporate cronies and the chiefs of staff
                           Am     Am7
Bowing to the image of the golden calf
D

Starting up wars in the name of god's son
      E7
Gonna blow us all the way to kingdom come

Man of god, man of god

Man of god, man of god
D                              C          Am    D  C
That ain't the preachings of a man of god


   Am
Coalition of the fearful and the judgmental
  D                              C
Patricians, politicians, and the fundamentalists
    Am
You never have to tell them how the money's spent
    E7                                  D
You never have to tell them where their freedom went
D7
Homophobes in the high command
                                  Am    Am7
Waiting for the rapture like it's Disneyland
D
Hide all the bodies from out of view
E7
Channel all the treasure to the chosen few

BRIDGE:
D
If I could, I surely would
                        Am
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
D
Look out people, now we're gonna get fleeced
     E                                Am
By a wolf masquerading as a man of peace

Am
Jesus said, help the poor and the weak
E7                           D
If he lived today, he'd be a liberal freak
D7
All the money changers would be out on the street
                        Am             Am7
Weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth
D
Me, I'm a-waiting on the reckoning day
         E7
When the whole world gonna rise up and say...
