Intro: G  C  (4x) 
  
         G 
Does the Shadowman possess you? 
        C                     G 
Is your dream still sweet and real? 
          C             Em 
Pain will always follow pleasure  
                           Bm 
That's how Nature cuts her deal 
C            G 
Every moment precious 
             D         C 
It was time alone we'd steal 
                             D 
First it's heaven, then it's hell 
     C               D 
To allow all that we feel 
  

                        C     G      D     Em 
I'm going down to these Shadowlands, yeah, yeah 
C G   Bm 
Shadowlands 
          C         G          D     Em 
Try, what you can't cure, you must endure 
         C           D  A 
In these Shadowlands 

  
  
Bridge: 

Climbing and disowning 
Em                       A 
You've made acquisitions 
  
Trading love for the masquerade  
        Em        D 
Just to realize positions 
  
  
             G 
You put your mouth in someone else's pocket 
       C                     G 
So you still need someone to blame 
    C                Em 
You turn your victim over 
                           Bm  
But lay bare your face and name 
C                G 
You who vanquish memories 
              D        C 
In your power lust for fame 
                        D 
Brother Banquo he'll be calling 
           C          D 
Yeah, it's Halloween again 
         C               D 
I may be leaning' on his shoulder 
      C                 D 
In ya killing fields of shame 
  
  

                           C     G      D     Em 
And I'll return from these Shadowlands, yeah, yeah 
C G   Bm 
Shadowlands 
         C        G         D    Em 
Ah, what we don't cure must be endured 
         C           D   Em 
In these shadowlands 

  

Lead Break: C        G    C              Em    C        G       D 
              (Yeah, yeah)  (These shadowlands)  (Shadowlands) 
  
  
      G 
Where e'er the Fates may hide us 
         C                G 
From the dark seas of our dreams 
  C                Em 
I pray you yet may find us 
                         Bm       
If you share these final scenes 
   C                    G 
By God's grace, let you be the one 
                        C 
Who'll hear every sad refrain 
                   D 
In the echoes of a love song 
       C         D 
On The Late Show playing 
     C            D 
A survivor of the airwaves 
         C                 D 
Seen the sun going down in flames 
      C                  D 
While framed against the doorway 
  C             D 
A silhouette in chains 
  

                     C     G      D     Em 
Hell-bound for these Shadowlands, yeah, yeah 
C G   Bm 
Shadowlands 
         C        G         D    Em 
Ah, what we don't cure must be endured 
         C           D  Em 
In these Shadowlands 
       C        G        D         Em 
And if we won't learn we sure will burn  
   C           D  Em 
In Shadowlands
