[Intro]
Dm7 F Bb
[Verse]
Dm7 F
There's a noise upstairs in the attic,
Dm7 Bb
It's the shuffle of worn out shoes.
Dm7 F
And the scent of the oil and brushes,
Dm7 Bb
Drifts down like a pale perfume.
[Chorus]
Cm
And he says, "I...
Ab
I am a man
Gm
A Simple man,
Eb Ebadd9
.. A man of colours.
Cm
And I can see
Ab
See through the years
Gm7
Years of a man,
Eb
.. A man of colours"
[Verse]
Dm7 F
And the old man rubs his failing eyes,
Dm7 Bb
Takes a moment to watch the view.
Dm7 F
From a window nobody knows he's there,
Dm7 Bb
He can see the empty street below.
[Chorus]
Cm
And he says, "I...
Ab
I am a man
Gm
A Simple man,
Eb Ebadd9
.. A man of colours.
Cm
And I can see
Ab
See through the years
Gm
Years of a man,
Eb F7
.. A man of colours"
[Instrumental]
Gm Eb Gm Eb
[Verse]
Dm7 F
He says, "I keep my life in this paintbox
Dm7 Bb
I keep your face in these picture frames
Dm7 F
When I speak to the empty canvas... It tells me...
Dm7 Bb
I have no need for words anyway... "
[Chorus]
Cm
And he says, "I...
Ab
I am a man
Gm
A Simple man,
Eb Ebadd9
.. A man of colours.
Cm
And I can see
Ab
See through these tears
Gm
Tears of a man,
Eb F7
.. A man of colours"
Cm
And he says, "I...
Ab
I am a man
Gm
A Simple man,
Eb Ebadd9
.. A man of colours.
Cm
And I can see
Ab
See through the years
Gm7
Years of a man,
Eb F7
.. A man of colours"
