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]
