We stood among the totempole
under the Canadian moonlight.
She told me all about her childhood days
on the Vancouver mountain side.
An eightteen month old baby, the night her daddy passed away.
We stood and watched the darkness
flowing into the light of day.
The night sometimes seems dangerous
wonder what it hides.
It sometimes brings us closer
and forever changes our lives.
Strangers talk in open ways,
we cannot always understand
but we began to feel the loving touch
and seen the guiding hand.
The man is alive, alive and breathing.
It's taken me so long to see.
The man is alive, alive and breathing.
The man is alive in me.

progressions and fingerings of this one.
Verse chords:
G: C D
The C is played where in open D tuning G/C is denoted, the D where Am/D is
denoted. The chorus is played as follows:
And then back to the verse:
Anyway, for lazy players (like one of us) this sounds quite good too ;-).
