The Old Mans Back Again chords

[INTRO]
[C#m]

[VERSE 1]
I seen a [G#m]hand, I see[E]n a[F#] vision
It was reach[E]ing through the [F#]clouds [G#]to risk [C#m]a dream
A [G#m]shadow crossed the [E]sky [F#]and it [E]crushed it to the [F#]ground [G#]
Just like a [C#m]beast
The old man's [F#]back again,[A] the old [G#]man's [C#m]back again

[VERSE 2]
I seen a woman [G#m]standing in the [E]snow [F#]
She was [E]silent as [F#]she watched them [G#]take her [C#m]man
[G#m]Teardrops burned her [E]cheeks [F#]
For she [E]thought she'd heard [F#]the shadow[G#] had left this [C#m]land
The old man's back a[F#]gain, [A]the o[G#]ld [C#m]man's back again

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

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