Intro: GGCD (4 times)

       G                             C            G

1) I'm chasing a shadow, I           can't see a thing,

2) There's a fighter inside who will never give  up,

         C                         G

1) It's dipping and diving like a bird on the wing,

2) We are what we are and it's     never enough,

               C                         D                 G     C G

1) And every time I get near it just     seems to slip away;

2) Write the words in the sand that this man will come again;

Ref1:

           bm                                      C

You may    run from the sea, and the words disappear,

Oh you may fall to your knees,    But the power is here,

       D

to survive;

                G                    C

It's shining again,

        D       G                    C

It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man;

        D       G

It's shining again

         G                        C            G

3) Ah remember the first day of   man on the moon,

4) Oh look back to the future and look down the years,

        C                          G

3) The whole world was watching, a whole world in tune,

4) It wasn't all battles and       bad news and tears,

           C                          D              G     C G

3) It was hard to believe he was the same as me and you;

4) We have brought to this place a desire to have a dream;

Ref2:

          bm                                     C

We may    reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,

Oh in the darkest hour the              spirit of man

         D

comes to life;

     D         G                   C

It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man;

         G                  C                   D

And we work - aha - for the good things that we can have,

Yea we work - aha - for the family       and    home,

Yea we work - aha - for the D-Mark       and the dollar,

Yea we work - aha - for the woman  on    the    phone,

Yea we work - aha - for that moment       of   elation,

Yea we work - aha - for a chance  to  get       away,

And we work - aha - just to let imagination,

       Eb                 D

Come inside and take me away;

1) stnaza instr.

Ref2:

           bm                                     C

We may     reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,

Ooh in the darkest hour the             spirit of man

          D

comes to life;

      D          G                 C

It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man.

(fade out)

^0---3----- (it should give an uprising feeling)

|1-3-3-----
