Van Morrison - Who Was That Masked Man: chords

             G
Oh ain't it lonely
             A             G
When you're livin' with a gun
Em       F#m                      G
Well you can't slow down and you can't turn 'round
A                      G
And you can't trust anyone

Em       F#m              G
You just sit there like a butterfly
        A                   G
And you're all encased in glass
Em F#m                      G
You're so fragile you just may break
         A                G
And you don't know who to ask

Oh ain't it lonely
When you're livin' with a gun
Well you can't slow down and you can't turn 'round
And you can't trust anyone

You just sit there like a butterfly
You're well protected by the glass
You're such a rare collector's item
When they throw away what's trash

         Em                     G
You can hang suspended from a star
D                    Bm
Or wish on a toilet roll
         Em              G
You can just soak up the atmosphere
         D            Bm
Like a fish inside a bowl

When the ghost comes round at midnight
Well you both can have some fun
He can drive you mad, he can make you sad
He can keep you from the sun

When they take him down,
he'll be both safe and sound
And the hand does fit the glove
And no matter what they tell you
There's good and evil in everyone
