Big Country – Just A Shadow (Guitar)

   Bm      A        D   A
It went so well for you

       F#m                   E
With a place right where you wanted

        D               E
And the ones to fill it to

    Bm         A         D    A
But some blows break the spell

        F#m            E
That it hits you every day

          D              E     F#m  D   F#m    D
Until you need to hit as well

            F#m               Esus4 E    A   Esus4  E
It's just a shadow of the man you should be

       F#m           Esus4
Like a garden in the forest

E        A                    Esus4 E
That the world will never see

    F#m                Esus4
You have no thought of answers

E    A                      Esus4  E
Only questions to be filled

       F#m        D     F#m  D  F#m   D
And it feels like hell

   Bm         A        D   A
It all seemed fine for you

         F#m         E
Till the struggle of ambition

          D                E
Turned in violence upon you

Bm          A         D     A
Sometimes a landslide comes

          F#m            E
If you're hiding in that avalanche

    D               E    F#m   D    F#m    D
You need a place to run

            F#m                 Esus4 E    A   Esus4  E
It's just a shadow of the woman you should be

       F#m           Esus4
Like a garden in the forest

E        A                    Esus4 E
That the world will never see

    F#m                Esus4
You have no thought of answers

E    A                      Esus4  E
Only questions to be filled

       F#m        D     F#m   D
And it feels like hell

D                  Bm       E           F#m
I know there is no need for what's been done

D               Bm         E    F#m
I know there is enough for everyone

D                    Bm    E       F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear

D                      Bm    E
And there's never been a hand

       Bm   A       D    A
Did we ever have it good

         F#m        E
While we lived in Eldorado

       D                E
Did we find the gold we should

      Bm     A       D    A
If it really was the truth

        F#m               E
Why are faces filled with anger

            D          E           F#m    D   F#m    D
That should only shine with youth

            F#m                Esus4 E      A   Esus4  E
It's just a shadow of the people we  should be

       F#m           Esus4
Like a garden in the forest

E        A                    Esus4 E
That the world will never see

    F#m                Esus4
You have no thought of answers

E    A                      Esus4  E
Only questions to be filled

       F#m        D
And it feels like hell

D                  Bm   E          F#m
I know there is no need for what's been done

D               Bm     E        F#m
I know there is enough for everyone

D                  Bm      E       F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear

D                    Bm   E            F#m
And there never is a hand outside that cares

D                       Bm        E       F#m
Still the promise comes of living fit for all

D                  Bm   E           F#m
If we only get our back against the wall

D                    Bm     E            F#m
I look at backs that pushed the wall for years

D                      Bm      E    F#m
Scarred by many knives and too much fear
