Song: Melancholy Man
By:   The Moody Blues

[intro:] 2  X [ Dm  Gm  A  Dm ]  {let ring}

[verse: 1]
        Dm
I'm a melancholy man
Gm 
  That's what I am
A
  All the world surrounds me
        Dm             {let ring}
And my feet are on the ground


[verse: 2]  {background vocals start}
       Dm
I'm a very lonely man
Gm
  Doing what I can
A
  All the world astounds me
       Dm                
And I think I understand


[bridge:]  
            A
But we're going
           A7
To keep growing
          Dm     Dm  
Wait and see


[verse: 3] 
      Dm
When all the stars are falling down
Gm
Into the sea and on the ground
      A                        Dm
And angry voices carry on the wind


[verse: 4] 
     Dm
The beam of light will fill your head
     Gm
And you'll remember what's been said
    A                                    Dm
By all the good men this world has ever known


[verse: 5]      
        Dm
Another man is what you'll see
     Gm
Who looks like you and looks like me
     A                                Dm
And yet somehow he will not feel the same


[verse: 6] 
     Dm
His life caught up in misery    
     Gm
He doesn't think like you and me
      A                               Dm
Cause he can't see what you and I can see


[solo: keyboards]   4 X [ Dm  Gm  A  Dm ]

[verse: 5]   {repeat verse}

[verse: 6] 
     Dm
His life caught up in misery    
     Gm  
     (melancholy man)
He doesn't think like you and me
      A                               Dm   {let ring}
     (very lonely man)
Cause he can't see what you and I can see
