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"
