Chords

[Verse 1]
D             G                   D
Everybody I talk to is ready to leave

D                         G
With the light of the morning

 D                           G                      D
They've seen the end coming down long enough to believe

                               G
That they've heard their last warning

            F#m7
Standing alone

              B7           Em      A7
Each has his own ticket in his hand

G                       A
And as the evening descends

                           G   D
I sit thinking 'bout everyman
[Verse 2]
D                             G                     D
Seems like I've always been looking for some other place

            G
To get it together

D                        G                          D
Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race

                          G
And maybe find something better

                  F#m7
But all my fine dreams

                 B7                     Em     A7
Well though out schemes to gain the motherland

G                       A                   G         D
Have all eventually come down to waiting for everyman
[Chorus]
Asus4                   A
Waiting here for everyman

D                            G
Make it on your own if you think you can

Asus4            A         D      G
If you see somewhere to go I understand

Asus4                 A
Waiting here for everyman

D                       G         A       D
Don't ask me if he'll show -- baby I don't know
[Bridge]
Bm                          G
Make it on your own if you think you can

Bm                                   E
Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand

Asus4                          A
Then you're going to need a hand
[Verse 3]
D                G                         D              
Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one

                      G
Who can give them the answers

D                          G
And lead them back to that place

                     D
In the warmth of the sun

                            G
Where sweet childhood still dances

             F#m7
Who'll come along

                   B7
And hold out that strong

               Em       A7
That gentle father's hand

G                 A
Long ago I heard someone say

                G         D
Something 'bout Everyman
[Chorus]
Asus4              A
Waiting here for Everyman

D
Make it on your own

                 G
Make it if you think you can

Asus4          A           D      G
If you see somewhere to go I understand
[Outro]
  Bm
I'm not trying to tell you

         G
That I've seen the plan

  Bm                    E
Turn and walk away if you think I am

  G                 Bbdim7
But don't think too badly

                   Bm          D
Of one who's left holding sand

 G                  A7
He's just another dreamer

                G          D
Dreaming 'bout Everyman
