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 ...
