ARTIST: The Moody Blues
TITLE: Melancholy Man
Lyrics and Chords


I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am
All the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground
I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can
All the world astounds me and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing
Wait and see

/ Dm - Gm7 - / A - Dm - / : / A - - - / Dm - - - /

When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
The beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known

/ Dm - / Gm - / A - Dm - / :

Another man is what you'll see
Who looks like you, and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn't think like you and me
'Cause he can't see what you and I can see

I'm a melancholy man
   When all the stars are falling down
That's what I am
   Into the sea and on the ground
All the world surrounds me
   And angry voices carry on the wind
And my feet are on the ground

I'm a very lonely man
   The beam of light will fill your head
Doing what I can
   And you'll remember what's been said
All the world astounds me
   By all the good men this world's ever known
And I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing
Wait and see
