Dm* Am7* F C Gm Dm Gm C
Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn
Dm* Am7* F C Gm Dm Gm C
Dust demon screaming, bring an eagle to lead me on
Am7 Bb Dm G4
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load
D# G# G Cm G# Cm G# Cm G#
Here I am on Man's road, walking Man's road, walking Man's road
Dm* Am7* F C Gm Dm Gm C
I'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down
Dm* Am7* F C Gm Dm Gm C
The rain comes, dreary, but there's no shelter I have found
Am7 Bb Dm G4
It will be a long time till I find my abode
D# G# G Cm G# Cm G#
Here I am on Man's road, walking Man's road
Dm* Am7* F C Gm Dm Gm C
Moon rising, disguising lonely streets in gay displays
Dm* Am7* F C Gm Dm Gm C
The stars fade, the night shade falls and makes the world afraid
Am7 Bb Dm G4
It waits in silence for the sky to explode
D# G# G Cm G# Cm G# Cm G#
Here I am on Man's road, walking Man's road, walking Man's road
Cm G# Cm G# Cm G#
Walking Man's road, walking Man's road, walking Man's road ...
