Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Disappearing Man
## NOTE: ~ = walk-down from C to Am ##
Am C G C ~ Am
All rise, behold the famous disappearing man
C G Dm Am
Who comes in crimson robes and leaves in yellow rags
C G Am
Hear now his ancient call to union
Dm Am G D
And the furious communion of the maiden and the stag
Am G Dm F
In the dark, in the dawn, with your wedding dress in tatters
Am C F E7
You reveal the yearning desert in the country of your skin
Am G D F
How you ache for the fawn, and he says it doesn't matter
Dm C Bm E7 Am
But it does and he's gone, and you know that he won't be back again
C G C ~ Am
Long now, he's borne his heavy armour resting only
C G Dm Am
In his sorrows and his noble-nosed regrets
C G Am
Sunlight, some momentary solace
Dm Am G D
And he'll ride off gay and lawless as the moment that you met
Am G Dm F
So the night comes and goes, and there's no one there to nurture
Am C F E7
But yourself and you know that you've nothing left to lose
Am G D F
Will you stand in the road waiting for another searcher
Dm C Bm E7 Am
Will you weep soft and low in the voice that your mother used to use
INSTRUMENTAL: C G D Am C Dm F Am G D F Dm C Bm E7 Am
C G C ~ Am
Springtime the swain came green and hero like a friendly gypsy
C G Dm Am
Storm on tender lilies, hale and blaze
C G Am
Late fall, the boatman rowed you grimly
Dm Am G D
Down a canyon dark and empty, in a stale and dreary haze
Am C Dm F
At the end of the year, when the cliffs rise up behind you
Am G F E7
And the stream runs in circles from the chasm to the core
Am G D F
And the sun comes in tears, 'cause the gardener did not find you
Dm C Bm E7 Am
Will you bloom bright and fierce, will you know you don't need him anymore
INSTRUMENTAL: C G C ~ Am C G Dm Am C G Am Dm Am G D
Am C Dm F
At the end of the year, when the cliffs rise up behind you
Am G F E7
And the stream runs in circles from the chasm to the core
Am G D F
And the sun comes in tears, 'cause the gardener did not find you
Dm C Bm E7 Am
Will you bloom bright and fierce, will you know you don't need him anymore
