 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  <-  D2 form, use these bass notes
           0   0  0  0  0  0
           3   3  3  3  3  3
           2   2  2  2  2  2
           0   -  -  -  -  -
           -   1  3  -  -  -
           -   -  -  1  3  0
 It's you
 Dear God
