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
