Words and Music by Graham Nash from his 2009 release "Reflections." [Intro] A [Verse 1]
A                            F#m              E
Once there was a time when a star was shining bright

        D            F#m            E    D
Crying "Only For The Lonely" in the night

       A                    F#m                 E
From a Blue Bayou, he saw a generation come and go

       D               F#m              E
And he influenced them all, every one we know

            F#m                A
And when he looked behind to a darker time

D                      E
They were only memories
[Chorus]
D                          E        A
He knew the madness and he knew the pain

D                       E        A
He'd seen fire and he'd seen the rain

  D                    E      A
Behind the shades, the man in black

     E                 A
Will always come back again
[Interlude] A [Verse 2]
A           F#m               E
Now, once again, he had everything

           D              F#m                E
He's got a brand new record and a traveling band

D            A            F#m                 E
He had a new life, a good wife, and she loved him

         D                      F#m                 E
So there ain't no way, he could lose, he could only win

     F#m             A               D                        E
In a world of fading idols, he's the voice that never let you down
[Chorus]
D                          E        A
He knew the madness and he knew the pain

D                       E        A
He'd seen fire and he'd seen the rain

  D                    E      A
Behind the shades, the man in black

     E                 A
Will always come back again, yes he will
[Bridge]
    F#m                   E              D
And then in dreams, she'd walk away from him

              F#m               E/G#
But when he's wide awake she is by his side

D                   E   A
There's no need for crying
[Interlude] A F#m E D F#m E [Verse 3]
F#m                  A
He left his music, a part of his soul

          D               E
So we can always remember when
[Chorus]
D                          E        A
He knew the madness and he knew the pain

D                       E        A
He'd seen fire and he'd seen the rain

  D                    E      A
Behind the shades, the man in black

     E                 A
Will always come back again

D                          E        A
He knew the madness and he knew the pain

D                       E        A
He'd seen fire and he'd seen the rain

  D                    E      A
Behind the shades, the man in black

     E                 A
Will always come back again, yes he will
[Outro]
A
Behind the shades, the man in black, is behind the shades
