1) I'm chasing a shadow, I           can't see a thing,
2) There's a fighter inside who will never give up,
         F                         F
1) It's dipping and diving like a bird on the wing,
2) We are what we are and it's never enough,
               F                         G                 F     F F
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:
           Em                                      F
You may    run from the sea, and the words disappear,
Oh you may fall to your knees, But the power is here,
       G
to survive;

                F                    F
It's shining again,

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

         F                        F            F
3) Ah remember the first day of   man on the moon,
4) Oh look back to the future and look down the years,
        F                          F
3) The whole world was watching, a whole world in tune,
4) It wasn't all battles and bad news and tears,
           F                          G              F     F F
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:
          Em                                     F
We may    reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,
Oh in the darkest hour the spirit of man
         G
comes to life;

     G         F                   F
It's shining again - the spirit of man,
It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man;
         F                  F                   G
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,
       G#                 G
Come inside and take me away;
1) stnaza instr. Ref2:
           Em                                     F

Ooh in the darkest hour the spirit of man
          G
comes to life;

      G          F                 F
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:
