[Verse 1]
Am              Fmaj7
      Dear God, hope you got the letter, and...
Am/G            D9/F#                        C
   ...I pray ...you can make it better down  ...here,
C/G#          D7sus2          D9/F#                   C
      I don't mean a big re - duction in the price of beer,
C/G#              D7sus2                       D9/F#
      But all the people that you made in your image,
         D                 D/C
See them starving on their feet,
            Bb                  E7
'Cause they don't get enough to eat,
     Am         Fmaj7  Am/G
From   ...God---------------,

C/G#         D7sus2          D9/F#                C
      We all need a big re - duction in amount of ...tears,
C/G#              D7sus2                       D9/F#
      And all the people that you made in your image,
         D               D/C
See them fighting in the street,
            Bb                  E7
'Cause they can't make opinions meet...
         Am        Fmaj7  Am/G
...About   ...God---------------,

[Verse 3]
Am              Fmaj7
      Dear God, don't know if you've noticed, but...
Am/G                  D9/F#                      C
   ...Your name ...is on a lot of quotes in this ...book,
C/G#         D7sus2       D9/F#                       C
      And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
C/G#              D7sus2                       D9/F#
      And all the people that you made in your image,
           D                    D/C
Still be - lieving that junk is true,
        Bb                      E7
Well, I know it ain't, ...so do you,
      Am        Fmaj7  Am/G
Dear   ...God---------------,

I can't believe in...
  D9/F#             Am   Fmaj7  Am/G
I don't believe in...

[Verse 4]
  Dm
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,
    G7
The wars you bring, the babes you drown,
      Bb
Those lost at sea and never found!

[Verse 5]
    Dm
And it's the same the whole world 'round,
    Bb
The hurt I see helps to compound...
        G7
...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,
   G7                                     A7
If there's one thing I don't believe in...

[Coda]
N.C.     Dsus2 Dsus2/Bb Dsus2/C Dsus2/F Dsus2/G Dsus2/E
 ...It's you-------------------------------------------,
     D
Dear God!
