[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
