Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Cain slew [Am]Abel Seth knew not why
[Dm]For if the children of Israel
were [Am]to multiply[E]
Why must any of the children [Am]die?
So he asked the [E]Lord
And the Lord [Am]said:
[E]Man means

[Verse 2]
[Am]nothing he
[E]means less [Am]to me[A][Dm]
Than the lowli[A]est cactus flower
[Dm]Or the humblest Yucca tree[E]
He chases round this desert
[Am]Cause he thinks that's
[C]where I'll [F]be[E]
That's why I love mankind
[Am][E]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
I recoil [E]in horror [Am]fro the foul
[E]ness [Am]of thee[A][Dm]
From the squal[Am]or and the
[A]filth [Dm]and [A]the misery[Dm]
[Am]How we laugh up [E]here in heaven
[Am]at the prayers you offer[C] me[F][E][Am]
That's why I love [E]mankind

[Verse 4]
[Am]The Christians and the Jews were
having a [Dm]jamboree
The Buddhists and the Hindus
joined [Am]on satellite TV
[E]They picked their four greatest
priests
And they began to speak
[Am]They said, "Lord,
a plague is on the world
Lord, no man [Dm]is free
The temples that we built to you
[Am]Have tumbled into the sea
[E]Lord, if you won't take care of us
Won't you please, please let us [Am]be?"
And the Lord [E]said
[C]And the Lord said
[E]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
I burn down your cit[E]ies-how [Am]blind
[E]blind you must [Am]be[A][Dm]
I take from you your children [A]and
[Dm]you say how blessed are [E]we
You all must be crazy [Am]to put
your [C]faith in [F]me[E]
That's why I love [Am]mankind
You [Dm]really need [E]me
That's why I love mankind
[Am]
