       G                             C            G
1) I'm chasing a shadow, I           can't see a thing,

2) There's a fighter inside who will never give up,

         C                         G
1) It's dipping and diving like a bird on the wing,

2) We are what we are and it's never enough,

               C                         D                 G     C G
1) And every time I get near it just     seems to slip away;

2) Write the words in the sand that this man will come again; Ref1:

           Bm                                      C
You may    run from the sea, and the words disappear,

Oh you may fall to your knees, But the power is here,

       D
to survive;

                G                    C
It's shining again,

        D       G                    C
It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man;

        D       G
It's shining again

         G                        C            G
3) Ah remember the first day of   man on the moon,

4) Oh look back to the future and look down the years,

        C                          G
3) The whole world was watching, a whole world in tune,

4) It wasn't all battles and bad news and tears,

           C                          D              G     C G
3) It was hard to believe he was the same as me and you;

4) We have brought to this place a desire to have a dream; Ref2:

          Bm                                     C
We may    reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,

Oh in the darkest hour the spirit of man

         D
comes to life;

     D         G                   C
It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man;

         G                  C                   D
And we work - aha - for the good things that we can have,

Yea we work - aha - for the family and home, Yea we work - aha - for the D-Mark and the dollar, Yea we work - aha - for the woman on the phone, Yea we work - aha - for that moment of elation, Yea we work - aha - for a chance to get away, And we work - aha - just to let imagination,

       Eb                 D
Come inside and take me away;

1) stnaza instr. Ref2:

           Bm                                     C
We may     reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,

Ooh in the darkest hour the spirit of man

          D
comes to life;

      D          G                 C
It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man. (fade out) the chord C in the refrain could be played:

^0---3----- (it should give an uprising feeling)
