VERSE 1
********
C Dm F
So you come to my world, I can show you
C Bb
Where they lead to the footprints in the sand
C Dm F
On the paths through the valleys and canyons
C Bb
To the veins in your arm, take my hand
----------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
Dm Am Eb
I’m the man on the rocks on the island
Bb F
The black pearl, the fool on the hill
F Am Eb
I’m the gold at the end of the rainbow
Bb F
If I ask you to follow, you will
----------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
C Dm F
So you come to my world to find freedom
C Bb
Give you wings to the stars, you can fly
C Dm F
Bring you hope and a dream to believe in
C Bb
As you float through the dark, crimson sky
----------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
Dm Am Eb
I’m the man on the rocks on the island
Bb F
The jewel in the crown of the king
F Am Eb
I’m the hope in the hearts of the helpless
Bb C
The choir where no-one will sing
----------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3 - Key Change

F C
There’s a trail out of the canyon
Bb C
There’s a new life waiting out there

It’ll take you home, out of this chasm

Where there’s blue sky sunlight to share
