Intro: GGCD (4 times)
GCG 1) I'm chasing a shadow, I can't see a thing, 2) There's a fighter inside who will never give up, CG 1) It's dipping and diving like a bird on the wing, 2) We are what we are and it's never enough, CDGCG 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: BmC 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; GC It's shining again, DGC It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man; DG It's shining again
GCG 3) Ah remember the first day of man on the moon, 4) Oh look back to the future and look down the years, CG 3) The whole world was watching, a whole world in tune, 4) It wasn't all battles and bad news and tears, CDGCG 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: BmC We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky, Oh in the darkest hour the spirit of man D comes to life; DGC It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man; GCD 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, EbD Come inside and take me away;
1) stnaza instr. Ref2: BmC We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky, Ooh in the darkest hour the spirit of man D comes to life; DGC It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man.
