The Old Man's Back Again
(Engel)

	
	
	Intro: C#m
	
	                 G#m        E  F#
	I seen a hand, I seen a vision
	
	            E               F#     G#      C#m
	It was reaching through the clouds to risk a dream
	
	  G#m                E   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
	
	
	
	               G#m             E    F#
	I seen a woman standing in the snow
	
	        E         F#               G#       C#m
	She was silent as she watched them take her man
	
	G#m                  E      F#
	Teardrops burned her cheeks
	
	        E                   F#        G#             C#m
	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
	
	
	
	                        G#m         E           F#
	The crowds just gather, their faces turned away
	
	         E              F#          G#    C#m
	And they queue all day like dragons of disgust
	
	      G#          E    F#
	Older women whispering
	
	          E                     F#      G#    C#m
	Wondering just what these young hotheads want of us
	
	                               G#m                 E      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               E      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
	
	
	
	                 G#                   E    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#              E    F#          E      F#   G#         C#m
	Devoured by his pain, bewildered by the faces that pass him by
	
	G#                E    F#            E       F#    G#            C#m
	He'd like another name, the one he's got's a curse, these people cry
	
	G#             E           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
	
	
	adlib over F# A G# C#m to fade
