David Bowie - Shadowman

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
