The Old Mans Back Again

C#m C#m7 G#m7 Emaj7/G# G#m7 I seen a hand, I seen a vision F# E F# G# C#m C#m7 It was reaching through the clouds to risk a dream G#m7 Emaj7/G# F# E F# G# A shadow crossed the sky and it crushed it to the ground C#m Just like a beast F# A G# C#m The old man's back again, the old man's back again C#m7 G#m F# I seen a woman standing in the snow E F# G# C#m7 She was silent as she watched them take her man G#m7 Emaj7/G# G#m7 Teardrops burned her cheeks F# E F# G# C#m7 For she thought she'd heard the shadow had left this land F# A G# C#m The old man's back again, the old man's back again C#m7 G#m F# The crowds just gather, their faces turned away E F# G# C#m7 And they queue all day like dragons of disgust G#m F# Older women whispering E F# G# C#m7 Wondering just what these young hotheads want of us G#m F# And 'entrez vie' he cries with eyes that ring like chimes E F# G# C#m His anti-worlds go spinning through his head G#m F# He burns them in his dreams E F# G# C#m For half-awake, they may as well be dead F# A G# C#m The old man's back again, I see he's back again C#m7 F# I see a soldier, he's standing in the rain E F# G# C#m For him there's no old man to walk behind G#m F# E F# G# C#m Devoured by his pain, bewildered by the faces that pass him by G#m F# E F# G# C#m He'd like another name, the one he's got's a curse, these people cry G#m F# E F# G# C#m Why can't they understand? His mother called him Ivan, then she died F# A G# C#m The old man's back again, the old man's back again F# A G# C#m I can see him back again F# A G# C#m Vocal Jazz to fade
