C#m

[Verse 1]
         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


[Verse 2]
         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


[Verse 3]
                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


[Verse 4]
        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
