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
