Red Right Hand

Chord sequence: (two bars of each) crd lyr Take a little walk to the edge of town, go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom, as it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires, Hey man, you know you're never coming back Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with a red right hand 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 reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul, But there won't be a single thing that you can do He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru They're whispering his name through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat is a red right hand You don't own no money? He'll get you some You don't have no car? He'll get you one You don't have no self respect, you feel like an insect, Well don't you worry buddy cause here he comes Through the ghetto and the barrio and the bowery and the slum A shadow is cast wherever he stands Stacks of green paper in his red right hand Solo #1 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + E ------------------------------------------------------------------ B ------------------------------------------------------------------ G ------------------------------------------------------------------ D --4-----------2-4-2---0-2-0-----0--------------------------------- A ------------------------------4---4-----0-------2----------------- E ------------------------------------------------------------------ Play the above four times (once each over chords B,B,E,B) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + E ------------------------------------------------------------------ B ------------------------------------------------------------------ G --2-----------0-2-2---0-2---------0------------------------------- D ------------------------------4---------------4---2---4-2-0---2--- A ------------------------------------------------------------------ E ------------------------------------------------------------------ Play this once over chord 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + E ------------------------------------------------------------------ B ------------------------------------------------------------------ G ------------------------------------------------------------------ D --4-----------2-4-2---0-2-0-----0--------------------------------- A ------------------------------4---4-----0-------2----------------- E ------------------------------------------------------------------ Play this once over chord Crd: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + E ------------------------------------------------------------------ B ------------------8-------------------------------8--------------- G --4-----4---------7---------------4-----4---------7--------------- D --4-----4---------5---------------4-----4---------5--------------- A --2-----2-------------------------2-----2------------------------- E ------------------------------------------------------------------ Play this twice over chords written above...
