G  G  G  G  G  G  G
[Verse 1]
GIf I had been CGod
CI would have rearranged the veins 
Cin the face to make them more resistant 
to alcohol and less prone to Gageing
If I had been CGod
CI would have sired many sons 
Cand I would not have suffered the Romans 
to kill even Gone of them
If I had Cbeen DGodEm  
With my staff and my CrodG  
If I had been giDven the nod
I bCelieve I could have done a Gbetter job
[Verse 2]
GIf I were a Cdrone
Patrolling foreign GskiesC  G  
With my electronic Ceyes for guidance
And the element of surGprise
I would Cbe afraDid     Emto find someone ChomeG  
Maybe a woman at a Dstove
DBaking bread, making rice, 
or just boiling down some Cbones
If I were a Gdrone

[Verse 3]
GThe Dtemple's in ruins
DThe bankers get fat
CThe buffalo's gone
CAnd the mountain top's flat
The Dtrout in the streams are all hermaphrodites
You Clean to the left 
but you vote to the Gright
[Verse 4]
GAnd it feels like Cdéjà vuG  
GThe sun goes down 
and I'm still Cmissing you
GCounting the Ccost of love that got lost
AnDd under my Gulf Stream, 
Din circular pools
CThere's ninety-nine cents 
worth of drunkards and GfoolsC

"Déjà Vu" Roger Waters

from new album 'Is This The Life We Really Want'

[Intro]

G G G G G G G

[Verse 1]

G C

If I had been God

I would have rearranged the veins

in the face to make them more resistant

to alcohol and less prone to ageing

If I had been God

I would have sired many sons

and I would not have suffered the Romans

to kill even one of them

C D Em

If I had been God

C G

With my staff and my rod

If I had been given the nod

C G

I believe I could have done a better job

[Verse 2]

G C

If I were a drone

G C G

Patrolling foreign skies

With my electronic eyes for guidance

And the element of surprise

C D Em C G

I would be afraid to find someone home

Maybe a woman at a stove

Baking bread, making rice,

or just boiling down some bones

If I were a drone

[Link]

C Cm G C D# G

[Verse 3]

G D

The temple's in ruins

The bankers get fat

The buffalo's gone

And the mountain top's flat

The trout in the streams are all hermaphrodites

You lean to the left

but you vote to the right

[Verse 4]

G C G

And it feels like déjà vu

The sun goes down

and I'm still missing you

G C

Counting the cost of love that got lost

And under my Gulf Stream,

in circular pools

There's ninety-nine cents

G C

worth of drunkards and fools

[Outro]
