Melancholy Man Lyrics

DK. . "A Question of Balance". .August 1970. Mike Pinder
Could play 1st 2 strums of chords in minor or major and then add 7th for the next 2
of each chord except for C#m after G#
#
INTRO (play 2x)Start w/3rd string 6th fret:C# C# B B
A G#, F# F# E E D#
C#, D# D# C# C# C C C# D# E. REPEAT
N.C. I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am,
All the world surrounds me and my feet, are on the ground.
N.C.I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can,
All the world astounds me and I think, I understand
That we're going, to keep growing, wait and see.
#
When all the stars are falling down,
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind.
#
A beam of light will fill your head,
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known.
#
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you, and looks like me,
And yet somehow, he will not feel the same.
#
His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me,
'Cause he can't see, what you and I can see.
#
C#m F#m7 G# C#m repeat 4 times
#
REPEAT ALL VERSES AND THEN CHORUS
When all the stars are falling down,
Into the sea and on the ground,
And angry voices carry on the wind.
#
A beam of light will fill your head,
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known.
#
Another man is what you'll see,
Who looks like you, and looks like me,
And yet somehow, he will not feel the same.
#
His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me,
'Cause he can't see what you and I can see.
#
CHORUS (with verse 1 sung underneath)
N.C. I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am,
All the world surrounds me and my feet, are on the ground.
N.C.I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can,
All the world astounds me and I think, I understand
That we're going, to keep growing, wait and see.
#
(Repeat all verses with the chorus sung underneath.)
