Dear God

Am Am/F Am/G Am/F# (x2)
Am Am/F
Dear God, hope you got the letter, and
Am/G Am/F# C C/G#
I pray you can make it better down here
C/D C/F# C C/G#
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
C/D C/F#
But all the people that you made in your image
D D/C
See them starving on their feet
A#2 E7
Cause they don't get enough to eat
Am Am/F Am/G
From God
D2 Am Am/F Am/G D2
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
Am Am/F C
About God
D2 Am Am/F Am/G Am/F#
I can't believe in you
Fmaj7 C G C G
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Fmaj7 D2 D2/C# D2/C Em7 E7
Did you make mankind after we made you?
Am Am/F Am/G Am/F# Am Am/F Am/G Am/F#
And the devil, too?
*Interlude* C C/G# C/D C/F# (x2) D D/C A#2 E7
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 believe that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
D2 Am Am/F Am/G
I don't believe in...
D2
I won't believe in heaven and hell
A#
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
D2
The pearly gates, no thorny crown
A#
You're always letting us humans down
G
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
A#
Those lost at sea and never found
D2
And it's the same the whole world 'round
A#
The hurt I see helps to compound
G
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
A#
It's just somebody's unholy hoax
D2
And if you're up there you'd perceive
A#
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
G A7 (pause)
If there's one thing I don't believe in
D2 D2/A# D2/C D2/F D2/G D2/E
It's you
Dsus2 & natural (simultaneously)
Dear God...
