Song Of A Dead Man - Ver 2

G#m C# G#m C# G#m C# He came to the light of the sun in ‘55 G#m C# The time when a man would look you in the eyes G#m And now he lay by the lady who he gave his name C# through the winds of the winter and the summer rain G#m C# But alive in the only way it really means to be E D#m G#m Now come on, black rider, won’t you ride along with me G#m C# G#m C# G#m C# He came to the people in the year I came to be G#m C# And sang hallelujah ‘till he sank into the sea G#m And now he lay in a corner where nobody knows, C# where the graze is so fallow anywhere he goes G#m C# And alive in the only way it really means to be E D#m G#m Now come on, holy rider, won’t you sing along with me E G#m See there’s a hurry that don’t wait up for the fool who’s taking time E G#m And there’s a fury that don’t let up for the ruler in the sky E G#m B And there’s something I don’t quite understand E D#m G#m Oh there’s something about the song of a dead man G#m C# G#m C# G#m C# It’s strange how the living don’t seem to live at all G#m C# A ghost has a way of making all of this seem small G#m And now I lay in the shadow of the ones who shone C# like a flame in the night of a long ago G#m C# But alive with a heartbeat beating away indeed E D#m G#m And now come on, versifier, don’t you put that fire on me E D#m G#m Say come on, versifier, don’t you put that fire on me E G#m See there’s a hurry that don’t wait up for the fool who’s taking time E G#m And there’s a fury that don’t let up for the ruler in the sky E G#m B And there’s something I don’t quite understand E D#m G#m G#m Oh there’s something about the song of a dead man F# G#m Ooohhhh where did he go? F# E Ooohhhh above or below F# G#m Ooohhhh maybe between F# E B Ooohhhh whatever that means E G#m See there’s a hurry that don’t wait up for the fool who’s taking time E G#m And there’s a fury that don’t let up for the ruler in the sky E G#m B And there’s something I don’t quite understand E D#m G#m Oh there’s something about the song of a dead man E D#m G#m B Oh there’s something about the song of a dead man E D#m G#m Oh there’s something about the song of a dead man
