[Intro]
G G G G G G G
[Verse 1]
G C
If I had been God
C
I would have rearranged the veins
C
in the face to make them more resistant
G
to alcohol and less prone to ageing
C
If I had been God
C
I would have sired many sons
C
and I would not have suffered the Romans
G
to kill even one of them
C D Em
If I had been God
C G
With my staff and my rod
D
If I had been given the nod
C G
I believe I could have done a better job
[Verse 2]
G C
If I were a drone
G C G
Patrolling foreign skies
C
With my electronic eyes for guidance
G
And the element of surprise
C D Em C G
I would be afraid to find someone home
D
Maybe a woman at a stove
D
Baking bread, making rice,
C
or just boiling down some bones
G
If I were a drone

C Cm G C D# G
[Verse 3]
G D
The temple's in ruins
D
The bankers get fat
C
The buffalo's gone
C
And the mountain top's flat
D
The trout in the streams are all hermaphrodites
C
You lean to the left
G
but you vote to the right
[Verse 4]
G C G
And it feels like déjà vu
G
The sun goes down
C
and I'm still missing you
G C
Counting the cost of love that got lost
D
And under my Gulf Stream,
D
in circular pools
C
There's ninety-nine cents
G C
worth of drunkards and fools
[Outro]
