Wandering Man Chords

(ver. 1)
Fairport Convention
[Intro]
Am  G/B  C  D

[Verse]
G         C         G               C    D
See how a wandering man crosses the open plain
Am   G/B     C            D          Em        C      D
Sure foot, inclusive he divines, you know it's not in vain
C       D
That he travels
C          D                  Em       C        D
Footprints left in the earth, show how far he's come
  Am   G/B        C           D     Em        C       D
A long way from a baby he was born, into this great unknown
Am      D
That he travels

[Verse]
G                C       G                        C       D
Deep down in the diamond mines, he could fall and cut his skin
Am     G/B  C            D          Em       C       D
Fooled by a trick of the light, the way that he came in
C                D               Em        C        D
There's a land beneath the moon, after his damp and cold
  Am          G/B  C            D         Em      C        D
A place where everything's been said, but nothing has been told
Am       D
Back the shadows

[Chorus]
         C                 D           G
He could lift his head and turn to the sun
   C               D
To bury that borderline
Em         G       C           Bm
Freedom is only as good as you feel
   Am    G/B C         D
So grasp and hold this moment in time

[Verse]
G           C       G              C    D
Lives on an ancient ground for his company
Am      G/B     C          D          Em   C      D
Casting out the shadows of doubt, wherever he may be
C              D             Em            C         D
Soldier of the peaceful way, fighting from dusk 'til dawn
Am   G/B          C       D         Em      C        D
Everything's been ripped apart, but nothing has been torn
  Am       D
Except the shadows

[Chorus]
         C                 D           G
He could lift his head and turn to the sun
   C               D
To bury that borderline
Em         G       C           Bm
Freedom is only as good as you feel
   Am    G/B C         D
So grasp and hold this moment in time

[Instrumental]
G   C  G   C  D
Am  G/B  C  D  Em  C  D
C   D   Em  C  D
Am  G/B  C  D  Em  C  D  Am  D

[Verse]
G            C         G              C      D
Could I be a wandering man, making my way to you
       Am    G/B  C          D        Em   C       D
You're on my mind all of the time, in everything I do
C                  D          Em       C        D
All great ventures ever made, needed a place to start
   Am    G/B      C          D          Em      C       D
So every step I'm planning today, might take me to your heart
Am      D
That it travels

[Chorus]
     C                D           G
So I lift my head and turn to the sun
    C               D
And bury that borderline
Em         G       C           Bm
Freedom is only as good as you feel
   Am    G/B C         D
So grasp and hold this moment in time
Em         G       C           Bm
Freedom is only as good as you feel
   Am    G/B C         D
So grasp and hold this moment in time

[Outro]
G   C  G   C  D
Am  G/B  C  D  Em  C  D
