The Old Mans Back Again

C#m

[Verse 1]
         C#m7           G#m7    
I seen a hand, I seen a vision
Emaj7/G#  G#m7

F#     E                    F#   
It was reaching through the 
 G#         C#m C#m7
clouds to risk a dream
  G#m7               Emaj7/G#   
A shadow crossed the sky and it 
F#     E          F#     G#
crushed it to the ground
            C#m
Just like a beast
              F#         A   G#  
The old man's back again, the old
              C#m
 man's back again


[Verse 2]
         C#m7  G#m             F#
I seen a woman standing in the snow
        E             F#           
She was silent as she watched them 
G#       C#m7
take her man
G#m7                  Emaj7/G#  G#m7
Teardrops burned her cheeks
F#      E                       
For she thought she'd heard the 
F#    G#             C#m7
shadow had left this land

              F#        A     G# 
The old man's back again, the old
              C#m
 man's back again


[Verse 3]
                C#m7          G#m 
The crowds just gather, their 
              F#
faces turned away
         E                  F#     
And they queue all day like dragons
G#  C#m7
 of disgust
      G#m             F#
Older women whispering
          E                    
Wondering just what these young 
 F#      G#    C#m7
hotheads want of us
                               G#m 
And 'entrez vie' he cries with eyes
                         F#
 that ring like chimes
         E         F#      G#    
His anti-worlds go spinning 
       C#m
through his head
          G#m               F#
He burns them in his dreams
         E     F#          G#     
For half-awake, they may as well 
 C#m
be dead
              F#         A  G#   
The old man's back again, I see 
          C#m
he's back again


[Verse 4]
        C#m7                      
I see a soldier, he's standing in 
F#
the rain
                E      F#  G#    
For him there's no old man to 
    C#m
walk behind
G#m                   F#  E     
Devoured by his pain, bewildered
        F#   G#             C#m
 by the faces that pass him by
             G#m        F#        
He'd like another name, the one 
    E       F#     G#           C#m
he's got's a curse, these people cry
               G#m         F# 
Why can't they understand?  His 
  E                 F#   G#   
mother called him Ivan, then she 
     C#m
died
              F#         A    G# 
The old man's back again, the old
       C#m
 man's back again
              F#         A G# C#m
I can see him back again
