Am Cain slew Abel;
Seth knew not why.
Dm For if the.
Children of Israel,
Were to multi- Am ply;
Why must E7 any of,
The Am child- E7 ren Am die?
So he asked the Lord,
E And the Lord said;
Chorus 1:
Am Man means E7 nothing,
He Am means E7 less to Am me, A7
Dm Than the lowliest,
A7 Cactus flower,
Or the Dm humblest A7 Yucca Dm tree.
He Am chases round this E7 desert,
'Cos he Am thinks,
That's C7 where I'll F7 be;
Am That's why I E7 love man- Am kind. E7
Am I recoil in E7 horror,
From the Am foul- E7 ness of Am thee. A7
Dm From the squalor and the A7 filth,
Dm And the A7 mise- Dm ry.
How we Am laugh up in here in E7 heaven,
At the Am prayers you C7 offer F7 me;
Am That's why I E7 love man- Am kind. E7
Verse 2:
Am The Christians and the Jews,
Were having a jamboree,
Dm The Buddhists and the Hindu's,
Joined on Am satellite TV.
They picked their,
E7 Four greatest priests,
And Am they be- E7 gan to Am speak;
They said;
Am "Lord, a plague is on the world,
Lord, no man is free,
The Dm temples that we built to you,
Have Am tumbled into the sea.
Lord, if you won't take E7 care of us;
Won't you Am please,
Please E7 let us Am be?"
And the Am Lord said, E
And the C Lord said; E
Chorus 2:
Am I burn down your cities,
How E7 blind you must Am be. A7
Dm I take from you your A7 children,
And you say;
Dm "How A7 blessed are Dm we".
Am You all must be E7 crazy,
To Am put your C7 faith in F7 me;
Am That's why I E7 love man- Am kind;
You Dm really need me,
Am That's why I E7 love man- Am kind.
