The Invisible Man.

Rpt.

F e d C G


1. C G
It wasn't written in the stars
C F
Or on the palm of any hand.
C G
It wasn't in the Tarot cards
Am F
It wasn't in the Koran,

C G
He just woke up in a Garden

C d e F
To the West of Iran

C Dm Em
And the animals they named him
F (add Bb,b) C
The Invisible Man.


2.
She met him at a party,
They got together for Life
And The Invisible Man loved
His invisible wife

She tried hard to understand him-
She got as close as you can,
But there was nothing much to see inside
The Invisible Man.


Bridge:
Dm9 F
Imagine a division
Bb C
In a non-existent space.

Dm F
That was all he told her he could feel

F (addBb, b) G
Of his Invisible face.


Harp: C G C F C G Am F C G C F

C Dm Em F add Bb/b C


3.
Well his world is full of fortune,
His world is full of fate,
But the Invisible Man stands
At an invisible gate

And he works down at the factory
Stuffing fish into a can
Until the day the world forgets about
The Invisible Man.
