Difficulty: novice

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)

I'm a melancholy man,      that's what I 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
