M. Ward - Me and my shadow

^EmNow there's a singer everyone has heard ^EmAt night he turns into a mocking bird If I whistle in the dark he'll do that ^Btoo. I ^Emmet him on the road at the close of day ^GTalk like me, walk this way I said &q^Emuot;Mocking bird, ^Byou ain't no w^Emidowmaker".

^EmAnd there is a singer everybody knows, ^Emhe makes round with late night show, Shake the hands in the hopes that ^Bthe masquerade is on, ^EmYou turn him off on the radio when he say ^Amme and my shadow, ^BShoot out the lights my shadow's gone.

^EmDown at the bottom of the calendar day ^Emfind my roots yeah you'll see all eight ^Emif I'm tied up to the tracks, then he's chained up to the r^Boad

^EmAnd it's one for the money, two for the show, for ^Amme and my shadow. ^BShoot out the lights and my shadow's g^Emone ^BShoot out the lights and my shadow is g^Emone

^EmThere is a shadow everyone has heard, ^EmAt night he turns into a mocking bird, If I whistle in the dark, he'll do that ^Btoo ^EmI met him on the road today, a s^Amilhouette on a black highway I said &^Emquot;You can have t^Bhis world, this world is no^Emt my own" Then he said &qu^Emot; You can keep th^Bis world, this world is not^Em my home".
