Shadowman

Shadowman 2002 by David Bowie

B side to the CD single Slowburn

By Alan Hyde

E A C#m

There's a man back a-ways

A E

Who believes at where he is

And there's a girl

G#m B

Up ahead who says she knows

A G#m

And the street overflows

C#m B

With the folk who understand

E G#m B

But for the guy who can't be seen

A G#m F#m

He's the Shadow Man

B A E

And the Shadow Man is close at hand

E A C#m

Take a turn and see his smile

A E

Made of nothing but loneliness

E G#m

take a Boy and be a friend

B

To the Shadow Man

A G#m

You can call him Joe, you can call him Sam

C#m B

You should call and see who answers

E G#m B A G#m F#m

For he promises to come running, guided by the truth

A E

But the Shadow Man is really you

B E

Look into his eyes and see your reflection

A F#m

Look to the stars and see his eyes

B A

He'll show you tomorrow, he'll show you the sorrows

G#m B

Of what you did today

A E

You can call him foe, you can call him friend

C#m G#m

You should call and see who answers

E G#m B

For he knows your eyes are drawn

F#m B

To the road ahead

A E

And the Shadow Man is waiting round the bend

(Fade out on A &E)

Oh, shadow man

Shadow man, shadow man

It's really you, it's really you, it's really you

He's the shadow man
