Standard (EADGBE)

There's a man back a-ways

 Who believes at where he is

And there's a girl

 Up ahead who says she knows

 And the street overflows

 With the folk who understand

 But for the guy who can't be seen

 He's the Shadow Man

 And the Shadow Man is close at hand

Take a turn and see his smile

 Made of nothing but loneliness

 take a Boy and be a friend

 To the Shadow Man

 You can call him Joe, you can call him Sam

 You should call and see who answers

 For he promises to come running, guided by the truth

 But the Shadow Man is really you

Look into his eyes and see your reflection

Look to the stars and see his eyes

 He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrows

Of what you did today

 You can call him foe, you can call him friend

 You should call and see who answers

 For he knows your eyes are drawn

 To the road ahead

 And the Shadow Man is waiting round the bend

 (Fade out on &)

Oh, shadow man

Shadow man, shadow man

It's really you, it's really you, it's really you

He's the shadow man
