Soul of Man
The Black Lillies



    C                        F                 C
Where does the soul of man go?
     F                                               C
When we reach the end of the road
F                     F           E                     Am
Will there be light or darkness and fright?
  F         F#m     C
Nobody really knows

    C              F           C
When will it be the end?
          F                                 C
The messenger’s day to send         
  F                                   E                    Am
Will there be doom or blood on the moon?
   F           F#m           C       F           F#m            C
Nobody knows my friend, nobody knows my friend

 

Chorus:
    F            F              C
So sing tonight and drink your fill
   F          F              C
A few more hours of life to kill
  F           F             E        Am
Hold the one you love, easy on your mind
   F           F#m        C      F            F#m        C
Maybe it’s for real this time, maybe it’s for real this time

 C      F        C
Oh, dear Mom and Dad
  F      F          C
Please don’t be so sad
  F      F           E        Am
Sunday school and the Golden Rule
  F            F#m              C                  
Things haven’t turned out that bad,
    F              F#m             C
no things haven’t turned out that bad


Chorus:
    F            F              C
So sing tonight and drink your fill
   F          F              C
A few more hours of life to kill
   F            F           E        Am
Hold the one you love, easy on your mind
   F           F#m        C      F            F#m        C
Maybe it’s for real this time, maybe it’s for real this time

  C         F                C
What is the meaning?  you say
  F       F             C
Will we all just float away?
  F          F                 E             Am
Don’t push your way through, lend a hand to soothe
  F            F#m        C       F             F#m       C
We’ll find it together someday, we’ll find it together someday

Maybe it’s for real this time, maybe it’s for real this time
