_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ You were the brightest star the night sky
_ [C#m] _
ever displayed _ _
_ [F#] But in the early morning light
_ _ [E] You started to [B] fade _ _ _
_ _ You had a revolutionary vision _ _ _
[C#m] Breaking down the _ barricades
_ [F#] But because you lacked the wisdom
_ [E] Your dreams were all [B] betrayed _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Wise men gave their counsel _
[C#m] But the truth you did evade
_ _ [F#] _ You never needed any of them
[E] You were the [B] renegade _ _
_ _ _ _ Thought you were the biggest alligator _
[F#] That ever [C#m] cruised the Everglades
_ _ _ Oh _ _ now, you're [E] just a shadow [B] in the shade _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
So you left your small pool far behind, but now [C#m] you wish that you had stayed _
[F#] The big fish in this ocean have got you [E] feeling so [B] afraid _ _ _ _ _
_ Still you climbed on up the ladder
_ _ You thought you had it made _
But [F#] your confidence was shattered by the [E] song that a dreamer played _ _ _ _
_ _ Your hand full of bloody diamonds
_ _ [C#m] Your heart full of clubs and spades _
[F#] You gambled with poor people's lives
Now through your conscience you must [B] wait _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Dogs bark, they warn you _ _
[C#m] _ Even donkeys bray _
_ _ [F#] Oh _ now, _ you're [E] just a shadow in [B] the shade _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ You're [B] just a shadow _ in the shade
_ _ _ [F#] But it's you they'll be looking for
_ [E] _
In the heat [B] of the day _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ You're just [B] a shadow _ in the shade
_ _ [F#] _ But it's you they'll be looking for
_ [E] _
In the heat of [B] the day _ _
_ _ _ Yeah, you had a little revelation
So [C#m] you went on your crusade
But [F#] you were preaching to the converted
There [E] was no one to [B] persuade _ _
_ _ _ Like the fool that struts and frets _
His [C#m] hour upon the stage
_ [F#] You gave your best performance, but no [E] one follows [B] your parade _ _
_ _ _ You'll be back where you were, now you've given all [C#m] your gold, your pearls, your jade
_ [F#] But nobody wants to take that fall, [E] there is no one willing [B] to trade _ _
_ _ _ Little children see right through you
[C#m] They know it's all a charade
_ _ [F#] _ Oh _ man
You're [E] just a shadow _ [B] in the shade _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _
Oh
_ _ _ You're [B] just a shadow _ in the shade
_ _ _ [F#] But it's you they'll be looking for
_ [E] _
In the heat [B] of the day _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _
Oh
_ _ _ You're [B] just a shadow in the shade
_ _ [F#] _ But it's you they'll be looking for
_ [E] _
In the heat of [B] the day _ _ _
_ _ _ Well you got your wake-up call _
[C#m] But it was a little too late
_ [F#] You thought you had a handle on it all
When [E] you were holding on [B] to blame _ _ _
_ _ _ Even so you just kept on working _
[C#m] China earned an honest wage _
But [F#] they raised the price of everything on [E] the day that you got [B] paid _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ When at last salvation found you _
[C#m] So worn out and dismayed
She [F#] was the image of
perfection _ in
[E] sunlight well away _ _ _ _
_ _ She came dancing through the afternoon
You tried [C#m] to reach out and touch her braids
_ _ [F#] Oh _
Man, _ you're just [E] a shadow in [B] the shade _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] Oh
_ _ _ _ You're [B] just a shadow in the shade
_ _ [F#] _ But it's you they'll be looking for
_ [E] _
In the heat of [B] the day _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ You're [B] just a shadow in the shade
_ _ [F#] _ But it's you they'll be looking for
_ [E] _
In the heat of [B] the day _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _
Oh
_ _ _ You're [B] just a shadow _ in the shade
_ [F#] _ But you'll return tonight
_ [E] _
At the end of the [B] day _
_ _ _ _ _ _
