Start Jamming...
This one's dedicated to people in Tasmania who've had one victory in the last 87 years.
So don't make sure this doesn't happen to you.
Everybody
[Am]
say God is a good man.
Minutes to midnight.
[F#m]
[Am] Everybody say God is a good man.
God is a good man.
Half clock on the world.
Yes, he's a good man.
Driving a dump truck up to the sun.
Is he a soul man?
A sly industrial man.
Three stars to every car.
[G] I look at [D] the clock on [C] the wall.
[Am]
Sad, [G] screaming, a [D] slum in [C] my home.
[Am]
Face [G] is blind, [D] bedware [C] so near.
[Am]
File has flown in a jar.
Sounds like an ending.
She's full of soft marie.
A wax like fly.
Minutes to midnight.
It truly gets harder to define.
Squeaks like a satellite.
Talking, talking in tongues.
But [G] the dance is [D] sad.
Rips [Am] the radio.
Big guns [G] go blister on [D] the [C]
ATAs.
And hope [G] rains [D] outside of [C] the gate.
[D] Funny you can hear.
But [F] what [Dm] eyes don't see.
[B] And you can't [Cm] see.

[E] [A]
say God is a good man.
Minutes [D] to midnight.
[Am] Everybody goes one, two, three.
Staring at green lights.
Shells, holes, bombs, shots, it makes you laugh.
[A] God is a good man.
[Am] ICBD, SS20, [Em] nice old donor.
God's so mad.
[Am] [G] Remember your [D] [Am] childhood.
[G] Remember [D]
the [C] daddy.
[Am] [G] Hope is what you [D] say.
And [Em] you [D] funny you can hear.
[Dm] But what eyes don't see.
And you [Cm] can't see.
[Am]
Funny [D] you can hear.
[Dm] But what eyes don't see.
[D] Funny you can hear.
[F] But what eyes don't see.
And you can't see me.
