 Dear God

 ---- ---
 

 Dear God, hope you got the letter and...
 I pray you can make it better down here
 I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
 But all the people that you made in your image
 See them starving on their feet
 'Cause they don't get enough to eat
 >From God,
 I can't believe in you
 
 Dear God, sorry to disturb you but...
 I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
 We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
 And all the people that you made in your image
 See them fighting in the street
 'Cause they can't make opinions meet
 About God,
                    C  D 
 I can't believe in you
 
  Fmaj7                         C      G    C 
 Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
 Fmaj7 D2 (or A7sus4/D)
 Did you make mankind after we made you?
 A/C#  C C/E E7 
 Am riff
 And the devil, too?
 C D (2nd time thru)
 
 bypass Am thing and go to C riff
 
 Dear God, don't know if you've noticed but...
 Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
 And us crazy humans wrote it you should take a look
 And all the people that you made in your image
 Still believing that junk is true
 Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God
 I can't believe in
 I don't believe in
   Am/F#                           
 I won't believe in heaven and hell
   Bb                                   
 No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
   Dm                            
 No pearly gates, no thorny crown
   Bb                                
 You're always letting us humans down
   G                                    
 The wars you bring, the babes you drown
   Bb                             
 Those lost at sea and never found
   Dm                                    
 And it's the same the whole world 'round
   Bb                            
 The hurt I see helps to compound
   G                            
 That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
   Bb                          
 Is just somebody's unholy hoax
   Dm                                 
 And if you're up there you'd perceive
   Bb                               
 That my heart's here upon my sleeve
   G                                    A 
 If there's one thing I don't believe in
 D2/ D Bb C F G E s you
 Dear God
