The Shadow

	  		
Intro Gm Bb A G# (4x)

verse 1 
Gm               Bb            A           G# 
There I was just mindin' my own business 
Gm               Bb            A           G# 
When I saw a shadow out the corner of my eye 
Gm               Bb            A           G# 
I'd seen that shadow once before, in my life 
Gm               Bb            A           G# 
Well, it was the day my Father died 
Gm               Bb            A           G# 
So I turned and I fled, but that shadow gave chase 
Gm               Bb            A           G# 
Caught me down a dead end way 
Gm               Bb            A           G# 
To my surprise when he opened his mouth 
Gm               Bb            A           Gm 
Well, I could hear my Father say 

A                                       Bb    Fm     
He said, "Son, I know just where you've been, yeah 
Bb         G#                             Gm 
and I know just how you'll meet your end. 
A                                         Fm    Bb 
You better turn from the path that you're on 
G#                                    Gm 
lest you end up just like your old man. 
G#              Gm                Bb 
HOLD UP, WAIT A MINUTE there man! Like... 
        A              G#      
Did you forget who you were? 
            Gm             Bb    A 
You used to beat my mother down. 
G#        Gm                   Bb          A        G#                
Well, she left your sorry ass, because you wouldn't choose
 

verse 2 
Gm                Bb        Gm 
your wife and son over your booze. 
A      Bb      A     Fm    Bb       G#                    Gm 
Now, I ain't a damn thing, like the man you USED to be. 
A                                    Fm    Bb 
You better go back to where you belong, ohh 
G#                             Gm 
and maybe then you'll begin to see 
Bb   A   G#   Gm   Bb   A   G#    
Ohhhhh 
Gm   A   G#   Bb   Gm 
Oooooh 

Fade out
