Man Of Colours chords by Icehouse

Intro:
Dm7 F Bb

Verse:
Dm7                               F
There's a noise upstairs in the attic,
 Dm7                            Bb
It's the shuffle of worn out shoes.
Dm7                             F
And the scent of the oil and brushes,
Dm7                       Bb
Drifts down like a pale perfume.

Chorus:
             Cm
And he says, "I...
       Ab
I am a man
          Gm
A Simple man,
             Eb Ebadd9
.. A man of colours.
           Cm
And I can see
                 Ab
See through the years
           Gm7
Years of a man,
                Eb
.. A man of colours"

Verse:
 Dm7                       F
And the old man rubs his failing eyes,
 Dm7                          Bb
Takes a moment to watch the view.
  Dm7                 F
From a window nobody knows he's there,
 Dm7                          Bb
He can see the empty street below.

Chorus:
              Cm
And he says, "I...
        Ab
I am a man
          Gm
A Simple man,
               Eb Ebadd9
.. A man of colours.
           Cm
And I can see
                   Ab
See through the years
            Gm
Years of a man,
               Eb  F7
.. A man of colours"

Instrumental:
Gm Eb Gm Eb

Verse:
 Dm7                            F
He says, "I keep my life in this paintbox
 Dm7                              Bb
I keep your face in these picture frames
  Dm7                     F
When I speak to the empty canvas... It tells me...
Dm7                          Bb
I have no need for words anyway... "

Chorus:
              Cm
And he says, "I...
         Ab
I am a man
         Gm
A Simple man,
             Eb Ebadd9
.. A man of colours.
           Cm
And I can see
                    Ab
See through these tears
            Gm
Tears of a man,
                Eb      F7
.. A man of colours"
              Cm
And he says, "I...
        Ab
I am a man
          Gm
A Simple man,
             Eb Ebadd9
.. A man of colours.
           Cm
And I can see
                  Ab
