verse 1 


       C                       Dm       F 
So you come to my world, I can show you 
           C                             Bb 
Where they lead to the footprints in the sand 
       C                             Dm      F 
On the paths through the valleys and canyons 
       C                          Bb 
To the veins in your arm, take my hand 




        Dm         Am           Eb 
I’m the man on the rocks on the island 
                     Bb          F 
The black pearl, the fool on the hill 
        F           Am         Eb 
I’m the gold at the end of the rainbow 
                Bb          F 
If I ask you to follow, you will 


verse 2 

       C                        Dm      F 
So you come to my world to find freedom 
         C                           Bb 
Give you wings to the stars, you can fly 
          C                           Dm  F 
Bring you hope and a dream to believe in 
       C                               Bb 
As you float through the dark, crimson sky 



        Dm         Am           Eb 
I’m the man on the rocks on the island 
                 Bb           F 
The jewel in the crown of the king 
        F           Am            Eb 
I’m the hope in the hearts of the helpless 
                Bb          C 
The choir where no-one will sing 



verse 3 - Key Change 

          F                C 
There’s a trail out of the canyon 
          Bb                   C 
There’s a new life waiting out there 
               F                 C 
It’ll take you home, out of this chasm 
              Bb                   C 
Where there’s blue sky sunlight to share 


verse 4 - Heavier Guitar Chords 

       F                   Gm            Bb 
So you come to my world to escape it all 
           F                                Eb 
And you’re running from the dragons and the fools

            F                        Gm           Bb   
Through the dark, empty caverns deep in your soul 
F                      Eb 
Chasing the tiger, the jewels 



            Gm         Dm           Ab 
I’m the the man on the rocks on the island 
                    Eb         Bb 
I’m the beggar, the loser, the cheat 
           Bb          Dm        Ab 
So now you come to the gates for redemption 
                Eb            F 
With a ball and chain at your feet

There’s a new life waiting out there 
               Bb                F 
It’ll take you home, out of this chasm 
              Eb                    F 
Where there’s blue sky, sunlight to share
