Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: EADGBE

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                 A
But don't think too badly
                   Bm          D
Of one who's left holding sand
 G                  A7
He's just another dreamer
                G          D
