Intro:
G  G  G  G  G  G  G  

Verse 1:
G            C      
If I had been God
C
I would have rearranged the veins 
C
in the face to make them more resistant 
                            G
to alcohol and less prone to ageing
              C
If I had been God
C
I would have sired many sons 
C
and I would not have suffered the Romans 
             G
to kill even one of them
         C    D    Em
If I had been God
                     C   G
With my staff and my rod
                D
If I had been given the nod
   C                         G
I believe I could have done a better job

Verse 2:
G           C
If I were a drone
                   G     C  G
Patrolling foreign skies
                   C
With my electronic eyes for guidance
                      G
And the element of surprise
       C       D   Em                 C   G
I would be afraid     to find someone home
                   D
Maybe a woman at a stove
D
Baking bread, making rice, 
                         C
or just boiling down some bones
            G     
If I were a drone

Verse 3:
G   D
The temple's in ruins
D
The bankers get fat
C
The buffalo's gone
C
And the mountain top's flat
    D
The trout in the streams are all hermaphrodites
    C
You lean to the left 
                    G
but you vote to the right

Verse 4:
G                 C        G
And it feels like déjà vu
G
The sun goes down 
              C
and I'm still missing you
G            C
Counting the cost of love that got lost
  D
And under my Gulf Stream, 
D
in circular pools
C
There's ninety-nine cents 
                       G     C
worth of drunkards and fools
