Intro 
 4/4  3/4 4/4  3/4 4/4 
| Am | D | Bm | C | Emadd9 | 


Verse 
Em/D                    D/C 
 Was it summer when the river ran dry, 
B7sus4      A/B   B7    | Eadd9 E | 
  Or was it just another dam. 
Em9/D     Em/D      D/C 
 When the evil of a snowflake in June 
      G/B        Bm          Cadd9 
Could still be a source of relief. 


Bridge 
Em9     Em               Em7        Em6 
O how I love you, I once cried long ago, 
    Em9       Em        Em7      Em6 
But I was the one who decided to go. 
Am9          Dm7            Fdim7 
 To search beyond the final crest, 
                              Em7         Bm      | Cadd9 | Cadd9 D | 
Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high. 


Verse 
Em/D                    D/C 
 So I pretended to have wings for my arms 
B7sus4 A/B      B7   | Eadd9 E | 
   And took off in the air. 
Em9/D      Em/D             D/C 
 I flew to places which the clouds never see, 
    G/B          Bm         Cadd9 
Too close to the deserts of sand, 


Bridge 
        Em9        Em         Em7          Em6 
Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies 
Em9          Em       Em7       Em6 
Forced me to land and take a disguise. 
        Am9               Dm7             Fdim7 
I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back 
                  Em7       Bm     | Cadd9 | Cadd9 D | 
If I could find a horse not made of sand. 
 
E                               F#m 
  If this desert's all there'll ever be 
F#m7(5b)                F        C 
  Then tell me what becomes of me. 
D/C        Bb/C 
 A fall of rain? 
F      Fdim7           Bb             F 
  That must have been another of your dreams, 
  Am/E  F  Bmadd11/A Bm7/E | Amaj7/E E9 | E | Amaj7/D E9/D | E/D | 
A dream of mad       man     moon. 


Instrumental Interlude 


Middle 8 mostly in 7/8 time 
Db Gb/Db 
   Hey man, 
Db       B/Db Gb/Db 
 I'm the sand  man. 
    Db         Gb/Db 
And boy have I news for you; 
Db B/Db    Gb/Db Db           Gbm/Db 
    They're gonna throw you in gaol 
        Db              B/Db 
And you know they can't fail 
       Db      Gbm/Db         Db   B/Db 
'cause sand is thicker than blood. 
      E         A/E 
But a prison in sand 
     E        B/E 
Is a haven in hell, 
A/E   E        A/E        E 
For a gaol can give you a goal 
                |   2/4    | 7/8 
        A/E  B/E Db   Eb    F 
And a goal can find you a role 
     Bb/F  C/F      F      Bb/F 
On a muddy pitch in Newcastle, 
C/F      F    Bb/F 
Where it rains so much 
    C/F   F          Bb/F  C/F 
You can't wait for a touch of 
|  2/4     | 4/4 
 D/F# E/G#                 Eb7sus4 
 Sun  and    sand, sun and sand ... 


Verse 
Em/D                  D/C 
 Within the valley of shadowless death 
B7sus4          A/B    B7       | Eadd9 E | 
  They pray for thunderclouds and rain, 
Em9/D      Em/D          D/C 
But to the multitude who stand in the rain 
G/B       Bm            Cadd9 
Heaven is where the sun shines. 


Bridge 
    Em9           Em               Em7           Em6 
The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown 
    Em9               Em              Em7               Em6 
And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down. 
Am9           Dm7         Fdim7 
 Forever caught in desert lands  
                    Em7  Bm      | Cadd9 | Cadd9 D | 
One has to learn to disbelieve the sea. 

E                               F#m 
  If this desert's all there'll ever be 
F#m7(5b)                F        C 
  Then tell me what becomes of me. 
D/C        Bb/C 
 A fall of rain? 
F      Fdim7           Bb             F 
  That must have been another of your dreams, 
  Am/E  F  Bmadd11/A Bm7/E | Amaj7/E E9 | E | Amaj7/D E9/D | E/D | 
A dream of mad       man     moon.
