*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: Cm)
Verse 1:
Cain slew Abel Seth knew not why
Dm AmFor if the children of Israel were to multi-ply
E7 Am E7 AmWhy must any of the child-ren die?
So he asked the Lord
EAnd the Lord said:
Chorus 1
Man means nothing he means less to me
Dm A7Than the lowliest cactus flower
Dm A7 DmOr the humblest Yucca tree
He chases round this desert
Am C7 F7'Cause he thinks that's where I'll be
Am E7 Am E7That's why I love man-kind
Am E7 Am E7 Am A7
I recoil in horror from the foul-ness of thee
From the squalor and the filth and the mise-ry
Am E7 Am C7 F7How we laugh up here in heaven at the prayers you offer me
Am E7 Am E7That's why I love man-kind
Verse 2:
The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree
Dm AmThe Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV
E7They picked their four greatest priests
And they be-gan to speak
They said, "Lord, a plague is on the world
Lord, no man is free
DmThe temples that we built to you
Have tumbled into the sea
E7Lord, if you won't take care of us
Am E7 AmWon't you please, please let us be?"
And the Lord said
C EAnd the Lord said
Chorus 2
Am E7 Am A7
I burn down your cities-how blind you must be
I take from you your children and you say
Dm A7 DmHow blessed are we
Am E7 Am C7 F7You all must be crazy to put your faith in me
That's why I love man-kind
DmYou really need me
Am E7 AmThat's why I love man-kind
