Man Of Colours Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm](Y ou know those art galleries on Fifth Avenue? The prices they charge!
I saw one little picture that cost $50,000! They call [D]it a- a Cezanne
Cezanne? Oh, he was a great French
painter: I'd [G]like to own that painting
You would? [Bm]For
$50,000?)

[Verse 2]
There's a noise [Bm]upstairs
in the [D]attic
It's the shuffle of worn- out
[G]shoes[Bm]
And the scent of the oil
[D]and the brushes
Drifts down like a pale per[G]fume

[Verse 3]
And he says: [Am]I, I am a m[F]an,
a simple [Em]man
A man of [C]colours[D]
And I can [Am]see, see through the [F]years
Years of a [Em]man
A man of [C]colours[D][Bm]

[Verse 4]
And the old man rubs [Bm]his
failing [D]eyes
And takes a moment
to watch the [G]view[Bm]
From a window nobody
knows he's [D]there
He can see the empty [G]street below

[Verse 5]
And he says: [Am]I, I am a m[F]an,
a simple [Em]man
A man of [C]colours[D]
And I can [Am]see, see through the [F]years
Years of a [Em]man
A man of [C]colours[D][Em]
[C][Em]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]
He says: I keep my life
in this [D]paintbox
I keep your face in
these picture [G]frames[Bm]
And when I speak to this faded canvas
It tells [D]me I have no need
for words any[G]way

[Verse 7]
And he says: [Am]I, I am a m[F]an,
a sim[Em]ple man
A man of [C]colours[D]
And I can [Am]see, see through the [F]years
Years of a [Em]man
A man of [C]colours[D]

[Verse 8]
And he says: [Am]I, I am a m[F]an,
a simple [Em]man
A man of [C]colours
[D]And I can [Am]see, see through the [F]tears
Tears of a [Em]man
A man of [C]colours
[D]And he says:

[Verse 9]
[Am]I, I am a ma[F]n[Em]
A man of [C]colours[D]
And I can [Am]see,
see through the [F]years[Em]
A man of col[C]ours[D]
