INTRO:   Am  Dm  E  Am

           Am                       Dm
I'm a melancholy man,            that's what I am ,
E                                                           Am
     all the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground.
          Am                       Dm
I'm a very lonely man,            doing what I can,
E                                                      Am
     all the world astounds me and I think I understand,
                  E                                    Am
that we're going to keep growing, wait and see.

              Am
    When all the stars are falling down,
      Dm
    into the sea and on the ground
            E                                      Am
    and angry voices carry on the wind,
            Am
    the beam of light will fill your head,
            Dm
    and you'll remember what's been said,
         E                                            Am
    by all the good men this world's ever known.

       Am
    Another man is what you'll see,
            Dm
    who looks like you, and looks like me,
            E                                       Am
    and yet somehow he will not feel the same.
          Am
    His life caught up in misery,
          Dm
    he doesn't think like you and me,
                E                                   Am
    'cause he can't see what you and I can see.

(Am  Dm  E  Am) (4x)

           Am                       Dm
I'm a melancholy man,            that's what I am ,
E                                                           Am
     all the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground.
          Am                       Dm
I'm a very lonely man,            doing what I can,
E                                                      Am
     all the world astounds me and I think I understand,
                  E                                        Am
that we're going to keep growing, wait and see.

              Am
    When all the stars are falling down,
      Dm
    into the sea and on the ground
            E                                  Am
    and angry voices carry on the wind,
            Am
    the beam of light will fill your head,
            Dm
    and you'll remember what's been said,
         E                                            Am
    by all the good men this world's ever known...
