1971 Version
G - Cadd9 - G - Cadd9
C G
There's a man back a-ways
Em C
Who believes at where he is
G
And there's a girl
Bm D
Up ahead who says she knows
C G
And the street overflows
Em Bm
With the folk who understand
G Bm D
But for the guy who can't be seen
Am D
He's the Shadow Man
C G
And the Shadow Man is close at hand
C G
Take a turn and see his smile
Em C
Made of nothing but loneliness
G Bm
Just take a walk and be a friend
D
To the Shadow Man

C G
You can call him Joe, you can call him Sam
Em Bm
You should call and see who answers
G Bm D Am D
For he promises to come running, guided by the truth
C G
But the Shadow Man is really you
D G
Look in his eyes and see your reflection
C Am
Look to the stars and see his eyes
D C
He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrows
Bm D
Of what you did today
C G
You can call him foe, you can call him friend
Em Bm
You should call and see who answers
G Bm D Am D
For he knows your eyes are drawn to the road ahead
C G
And the Shadow Man is waiting round the bend
C G
Oh, the Shadow Man
C G
Ohooooo oooo
C
Shadow man, shadow man
G C
It's really you, it's really you, it's really you
G
He's the shadow man
C
Oh yeah
G
Shadow man
