INTRO
| Am | % |


VERSE
Am
 Cain slew Abel; Seth knew not why
Dm                                              Am
 For if the children of Israel, were 'sposed to multiply
Am/E       E7         Am/E E7  Am
  Why must any of the children die?
      Am/E           E7
So he asked the Lord, and the Lord said


CHORUS
Am/E       E7      Am/E      E7      Am  A7/C#
 Man means nothing; he means less to me
Dm                 A7            Dm              A7     Dm
 Than the lowliest cactus flower, or the humblest Yucca tree
Am/E                  E7              Am            C7/G       F7
 He chases round this desert, 'cos he thinks that's where I'll be
Am/E          E7       Am   E7
 That's why I love mankind  [LINK]


CHORUS
Am           E7#5 E7  Am/E      E7          Am   A7/C#
 I recoil in hor- ror, from the foulness of thee
Dm                        A7    Dm       A7  Dm
 From the squalor and the filth, and the misery
Am/E                        E7             Am         C7/G   F7
 How we laugh up in here in heaven, at the prayers you offer me
Am/E          E7     [Am]
 That's why I love mankind


INTERLUDE
| Am | % |


VERSE
Am                           Am
 The Christians and the Jews, were having a jamboree,
Dm                                      Am
 The Buddhists and the Hindus, joined on satellite TV
Am/E                             E7
 They picked their four greatest priests,
Am/E        E7     Am
 And they began to speak 


VERSE
                   Am                     Am
They said "Lord, a plague is on the world; Lord, no man is free
Dm                                Am
 The temples that we built to you, have tumbled into the sea
Am/E                    E7                    Am/E           E7     Am
Lord, if you won't take care of us, won't you please, please let us be?"
        Am/E      E7
And the Lord said 
        C/G        E/G#
And the Lord said


CHORUS
Am/E              E7     Am/E  E7             Am  A7
 I burn down your cities;  how blind you must be
Dm                    A7                     Dm   A7          Dm
 I take from you your children, and you say; "How blessed are we!"
Am/E             E7    Am           C7/G     F7
 You all must be crazy, to put your faith in me
Am/E          E7       Am        Dsus4(add9) Dm(no5)
 That's why I love man-kind; you really need me
Am/E          E7      [Am]
 That's why I love mankind
