 Am                       G
Fading colours, changing sounds
           Am                  G
Shades of night come tumbling down
         Am                G
Bring tomorrow like yesterday
 F    Am
Fade away

Oh I am, a wayward man
Following a light to a distant land
Come tomorrow, hey yesterday
Fade away

Dm     Am      F        Am
High adventure I just begun
Dm        Am      F             Am
Fame and fortune got me on the run
          G
Break of day
 F    Am
Fade away, yeah

Oh yes I am a wayward man
Following the light to a distant land
Will tomorrow like yesterday
Fade away

Am
Oh fade away, fade away
