I'd seen a hand, [E] [G#m] I'd seen a vision
[F#] It [E] was reaching through [G#] the clouds [G#]
to whisk [C#m] a dream
[F#] sky [E] and it crushed it to [F#] the ground
Just [C#m] like a beast
[F#] man's back again
man's [C#m] back again
I'd seen a woman [G#m] standing in the [E] snow

_ _ _ _ _ _ I'd seen a hand, [E] [G#m] I'd seen a vision _
[F#] It [E] was reaching through [G#] the clouds [G#]
to whisk [C#m] a dream
The [G#m] shadow crossed the [F#] sky [E] and it crushed it to [F#] the ground
[G#]
Just [C#m] like a beast
_ _ The old [F#] man's back again
_ _ [A] The old man's [C#m] back again _ _ _ _
I'd seen a woman _ [G#m] standing in the [E] snow
_ [F#] She [E] was silent [F#] as she watched [G#] them [C#m] take her man
_ [G#m] Teardrops [E] burned her cheeks [F#] for [E] she thought she'd [F#] heard
The shadow [G#] had [C#m] left this land
_ _ The old [F#] man's back again
_ [A] _ The [G#] old [C#m] man's back again
_ The _ crowds just gathered, [C#] their faces [E] turned [F#] away
And they queue all day like [G#] dragons [C#m] of disgust
_ Older women whispering, _ [G#] wondering [E] just what [F#] these young [G#] hotheads [C#m] want of [C] us
[C#] And on Drake V, he cries [G#m] with eyes that ring like [F#] chimes
[E] His anti [F#]-worlds go [E] spinning [C#m] through his head
He [G#m] burns them in his [F#] dreams, [E] for half awake [F#] they [G#] may as well [C#m] be dead
_ _ The old [F#] man's back again
[A] _ [E] I see [C#] he's back again
_ _ [C#m] I _ see a soldier, _ he's [E] standing in the rain
[F#] For him there's no old man [C#] to walk [C#m] behind
_ [G#m] _ [E] Devoured by his [F#] pain, _ [E] bewildered by the [F#] faces who [C#m] pass him by
[G#m] He'd like [E] another name, [F#] _ the one he's got's a curse
_ [C#m] These people cry, _ _ why [E] can't they [F#] understand?
His mother called him Ivan, _ [G#] _ then [C#] she died
[C#m] _ _ _ The old [F#] man's back again
_ [A] _ [C#m] The old [G#] man's back again
_ I can [F#] see him back again
_ [A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G#] _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
