Man In The Sky chords by Connie Converse

• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:
      Am         Em          Am    Em
There once was a girl in the olden days
     C        D          C      D
Grew weary of men with a roving gaze
     C           G       Am       Em
'Farewell fickle lovers, goodbye, goodbye
        Am          Em           Am
For I'm falling in love with the man in the sky'

Chorus 1:
    A                 Em7
The man in the sky he walks in haste
     D                    E
With three bright buckles around his waist
       A                               B7
With a great dog near and a little dog nigh
      Am                  Em     A
And a steady gleam in his golden eye

Verse 2:
    Am        Em       Am    Em
The girl went out on a windy hill
    C               D        C        D
And cried when the night was dark and still
       C         G        Am         Em
'Come down, come down you man in the sky
   Am        Em        Am
Or else I am likely to pine and die'

Chorus 2:
     A                    Em7
The man in the sky didn't stop to talk
   D                       E
He went right on with his evening walk
         A                                  B7
And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
        Am                    Em      A
And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd

Verse 3:
     Am         Em           Am           Em
She took to her bed from the light of the sun
    C    D       C          D
But when sun his course had run
    C       G         Am       Em
She went to window so high, so high
     Am        Em       Am
And waited and watched Orion go by

Chorus 3:
    A                 Em7
The man in the sky he walks in haste
      D                   E
With three bright buckles around his waist
       A                               B7
With a great dog near and a little dog nigh
      Am                   Em     A
And a gleam for her in his golden eye

Verse 4:
    Am        Em           Am    Em
One night she stood on her windowsill
    C             D          C       D
And stepped right out on the highest hill
     C             G               Am      Em
And climbed to the place where the planets are
     Am          Em          Am
And jumped from there to the nearest star

Chorus 4:
     A              Em7
She rocked in Cassiopeia's chair
    D                    E
And waked the dragon and roused the bear
        A                                   B7
And the great dog howled and the little dog whined
        Am                    Em     A
And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd

Verse 5:
     Am   Em       Am    Em
She found Orion at last
     C       D             C              D
And then she found he was just like other men
      C     G            Am         Em
When on his shoulder her head she’d lay
    Am        Em             Am
His eye was a million miles away

Chorus 5:
    A                         Em7
The great dog howled and the little dog whined
         D                     E
And the girl grew cold in the rising wynd
         A                           B7
And the dragon snarled and the lion roared
         Am                Em      A
And the stars flew by in a golden horde

Verse 6:
      Am        Em     Am      Em
This tale has a moral brief to tell
       C       D          C       D
And I won't go on for you know it well
  C           G             Am       Em
Remember the girl from the days gone by
    Am      Em            Am
Who fell in love with the man in the sky

Chorus 6:
     A              Em7
She rocked in Cassiopeia's chair
     D                   E
And waked the dragon and roused the bear
     A                      B7
And where the buried her I forget
        Am                   Em      A
But the man in the sky isn't married yet
