Man Walks Among Us chords by Marty Robbins

Man Walks Among Us Marty Robbins 1963

C             Am
Warm are the winds on the desert
C           Em
A whirlwind is dancing around
 F     Em       Dm      C
I stopped to survey all the beauty that's here
    Am             F   G
When a shadow moves out across the ground

    C          Am
It's an eagle that circles above me
    C               Em
And he screams to his friends on the hill
F     Em    Dm     C
Stay close together move not a feather
Dm    Em     Dm    Em
Man walks among us be still be still
Dm    G7     C
Man walks among us be still

            Am
Everything hides but I see them
   C           Em
I've spotted an old mother quail
 F       Em     Dm      C
I look close and see looking right back at me
  Am          F  G
The eyes of a young cottontail

 C      Am
I see a coyote sneaking as he crawls
             Em
Through the brush on the hill
    F       Em    Dm      C
And the eagle screams down stay close to the ground
Dm    Em     Dm    Em
Man walks among us be still be still
Dm    G7     C
Man walks among us be still

F            Em
Twenty feet high in the side of a Cactus
F           C
I see a hole where the Butcher bird stays
  F              Em
If mortals could choose and if Heaven should ask us
D7               G7
Here's where I'd want to spend all of my days

C             Am
Soon will be gone all the desert
C           Em
Cities will cover each hill
 F       Em  Dm    C
Today will just be a fond memory
Dm    Em     Dm    Em
Man walks among us be still be still
Dm     G7     C
Man walks among us be still
