The Man In The Sky

A


[Verse]
    A                            D
The hard times are reigning, the world is in pain
    E                               A
The kings and the captains they all conquer in vain
  A                            D
I stand in the background just watching the scene
    D        A               E                A
I'm doing my best to keep my hands washed and clean


[Verse]
    A                         D
The questions are rising, are drifting like snow
   E                       A
If you never get no answer you'll never know
    A                      D
The more I did wonder, the less I did care
     D       A            E          A
When one day suddenly the answer was there


[Chorus]
            D
I heard the man in the sky
       E
He was talking right to me
   A
He said it's very simple
        D              E
This is how it's gonna be
     E
Your life is your own business
        D
You can even cheat and lie
        A                        E          A
But you never can count away the man in the sky


[Verse]
  A                           D
I could hear him talking tho' he didn't speak
  E                         A
I just understood that I am strong when I'm weak
       A                  D
'Cause man was created to work all alone
    D         A              E            A
The answer is written in the soul of your own


[Chorus]
            D
I heard the man in the sky
       E
He was talking right to me
   A
He said it's very simple
        D              E
This is how it's gonna be
     E
Your life is your own business
        D
You can even cheat and lie
        A                        E          A
But you never can count away the man in the sky


[Coda]
             D                      E
So live your life as you please and let your mind command
       A                               D              E
'Cause when it really comes down to it you are just a man
    E                               D
The only thing you know for sure is that you're gonna die
       A                        E          A
So you can never count away the man in the sky
    E                               D
The only thing you know for sure is that you're gonna die
       A                        E          A
So you can never count away the man in the sky
