BOWIE DAVID - "shadowman" Tablature

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
