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