Subject:    CRD: Styx - Man in The Wilderness

Someone requested some Styx a couple days ago, so I sat down and banged
out the chords to my favorite Styx song.  I can do more of them like
this if requested (can't do Tabs, so don't even ask :) ).

VERSE 1

Em      D                  Am
Another year has passed me by,
        Em
still I look at myself and cry,
             D               C   Am  B7
what kind of man have I become?
Em         D                   Am
All of the years I've spent in search of myself
        Em
and I'm still in the dark, 'cause I
              D                  C   Am  B7
can't seem to find the light alone.


CHORUS 1

Em          D           C          Am     B7
Sometimes I feel like a Man in The Wilderness.
Em           D                C   Am  B7
I'm a lonely soldier off to war.
Em           D    C           Bm7     Am(sus)  Am  B
Sent away to die, never quite knowing why.
C            D                  Em   G  A(add B)
Sometimes it makes no sense at all,
C        B7        Em   G  A(add B)
makes no sense at all.


VERSE 2

Em           D               Am
Ten thousand people look my way,
         Em
but they can't see the way that I feel.
       D               C   Am  B7
Nobody even cares to try.
Em         D                Am
I spend my life and sell my soul on the road,
        Em
and I'm still in the dark, 'cause I
              D                  C   Am  B7
can't seem to find the light alone.


CHORUS 2

Em          D           C           Am     B7
Sometimes I feel like a Man in The Wilderness.
Em           D                C   Am  B7
I'm a lonely sailor lost at sea.
Em                D     C           Bm7     Am(sus)  Am  B
Drifting with the tide, never quite knowing why.
C            D                  Em       G   A
Sometimes it makes no sense at all, (I'm alive.)
                        Em                                G     A
Looking for love, I'm a man with emotion. (and my heart's on fire.)
                           Em                        G   A        B
I'm dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean. (I'm alive.)


Em           D           C          Am     B7
Sometimes I feel like a Man in The Wilderness.
Em           D                C   Am  B7
I'm a lonely soldier off to war.
Em           D    C           Bm7     Am(sus)  Am  B
Sent away to die, never quite knowing why.
C            D                C            D
Sometimes it makes no sense.  Sometimes it makes no sense.
C            D                 Em
Sometimes it makes no sense at all.
