GREATEST HITS VOL. 2 VERSION

G                                                   Am
They say every man must need protection,
Bm                     D              G      C   G
They say every man must fall.
G                                    Am
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Bm                    D                       G
Some place so high above the wall.


        G                               Am

        I see my light come shining
        Bm           D                           G
        From the west down to the east.
    
    G                     Am
        Any day now, any day now,
   
     Bm    D         G
        I shall be released.

(Instrumental)

Down here next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him cry so loud,
Calling out that he's been framed.

        I see my light come shining
        From the west down to the east.
        Any day now, any day now,
        I shall be released.



BEFORE THE FLOOD VERSION

E                                                 F#m
They say everything can be replaced,
G#m                A             B           E
They say every distance is not near.
                                   F#m
So I remember every face
G#m        A             B          E       B
Of every man who put me here.


        E                               F#m

        I see my light come shining

                          F#m
        Any day now, any day now,
   
G#m  A     B      E
        I shall be released.


They say every man needs protection,
They say that every man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection,
Somewhere so high above this wall.

        I see my light come shining
        From the west down to the east.
        Any day now, any day now,
        I shall be released.

Now yonder standing there in this lonely crowd.
A man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shouting so loud.
Just crying out that he was framed.

        I see my light come shining
        From the west down to the east.
        Any day now, any day now,
        I shall be released.

Somewhere so high above this wall.
