Intro: (Dm Bb C Bb C Dm)
Dm     Bb            C
I am a man who walks alone 
             F         C     Dm       
And when I'm walking a dark road 
               Bb                  C    Bb  C
At night or strolling through the park 

Dm        Bb               C
When the light begins to change 
             F       C      Dm
I sometimes feel a little strange
          Bb                C   
A little anxious when it's dark 

           Bb   C            Dm  C
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark 
           Bb                 F                   G    Dm
I have a constant fear that something's always near
           Bb    C            Dm  C
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark 
           Bb                 F           G    Dm
I have a phobia that someone's always there 

Dm                                  Bb
Have you run your fingers down the wall
                                    C 
And have you felt your neck skin crawl 
                                 Dm
When you're searching for the light?
                                         Bb
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
                       C
At the corner of the room 
                                       Dm
You've sensed that something's watching you 

Have you ever been alone at night 
Thought you heard footsteps behind 
And turned around and no one's there? 
And as you quicken up your pace 
You find it hard to look again 
Because you're sure there's someone there 

Fear of the dark... 

Watching horror films the night before 
Debating witches and folklores 
The unknown troubles on your mind 
Maybe your mind is playing tricks 
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix 
On dancing shadows from behind 

Dm          Bb           C
When I'm walking a dark road 
       F         G      Dm         
I am a man who walks alone.
