[Intro] Am G C/G D (X2) [Verse 1]
         Am               Am/G
Over the stone, under the trees

   C/G                              D
Together we ran, with no real plan, lookin to get free,

           Am         Am/G
Turnin our mind, into desolation

       C/G                              D
Into a no-man's land, where no man had, dared the deprivation
[Verse 2]
           Am               Am/G
And I left you, or you left me

 C/G                                         D
Tears were cried, and part of me died, but i knew that i had to leave

                    Am                 Am/G
And you asked me to stay, I told you I can't

   C/G                                              D
Well I can't be taught what I ain't got, so it was down the road I ran
[Chorus 1]
           FM7
There is a man in a yellow cloak

         G
He knows somethin I don't know what so?
[Interlude] Am G C/G D (X2) [Verse 3]
           Am                         Am/G
I met me a girl, she taught me how to love

    C/G                                          D
She turned me into a man, I forgot who I am or I remembered who I was

                Am                      Am/G
And I made me a fortune, I staked out a claim

       C/G                                                  D
Then I drank all the wine, and I rolled all the dice, and I pissed it all away
[Verse 4]
      Am                    Am/G
And I went to the river, to drown

    C/G                                        D
But somethin in my head, said yer no good dead why don't you just lay down

           Am                  Am/G
And when I awoke, I saw my old friend

        C/G                                                      D
But old friends don't change, they just get more the same and he went down the road again
[Chorus 2]
           FM7
There is a man in a yellow cloak

         G
Good for him it's getting cold
[Interlude] Am G C/G D (X2) [Verse 5]
           Am              Am/G
I had me a son, his mother died

    C/G                                              D
She got bit by a snake, and it slithered away, but I tried to raise him right

                Am             Am/G
But the boy ran off bitterly I wept

       C/G                                    D
Well I looked up and down around the town can nothing here be kept?
[Chorus 3]
           FM7
There is a man in a yellow cloak

        G
I know something he don't know
[After Chorus 3]
C
Do you want to know a secret

Am
Do you want to know the truth

    FM7                              G        C
The river is laughing and we're only passing, through
[Interlude] Am G C/G D (X2) [Verse 6]
           Am            Am/G
I said ferryman, what is time

   C/G                                                  D
He said there's no such thing listen to the stream so I did and he said goodbye

           Am                           Am/G
And my old friend came and he kissed my head

           C/G                                           D
He saw all gods and men die and live again I guess we're never really dead
[Chorus 4]
           FM7
There is a man in a yellow cloak

            G
There ain't nothing left to know
[After Chorus 4]
C
Do you want to know a secret

Am
Do you want to know the truth

    FM7                              G        C
The river is laughing and we're only passing, through
[Outro] Am G C/G D Am
