I'm not tabbing the instrumental intro. This tab starts just before the lyrics.
Intro: Em B
[Em]Now there's a singer everyone has heard
[Em]At night he turns into a mocking bird
If I whistle in the dark he'll do that [B]too.
I [Em]met him on the road at the close of day
[G]Talk like me, walk this way
I said "M[Em]ocking bird, you a[B]in't no widowm[Em]aker".
[Em]And there is a singer everybody knows,
[Em]he makes round with late night show,
Shake the hands in the hopes that [B]the masquerade is on,
[Em]You turn him off on the radio when he say [Am]me and my shadow,
[B]Shoot out the lights my shadow's gone.
[Em]Down at the bottom of the calendar day
[Em]find my roots yeah you'll see all eight
[Em]if I'm tied up to the tracks, then he's chained up to the r[B]oad
(Down at the bottom of the calendar day)
[Em]And it's one for the money, two for the show, for [Am]me and my shadow.
[B]Shoot out the lights and my shadow's g[Em]one
[B]Shoot out the lights and my shadow is g[Em]one
Instr: Em x3 B
[Em]There is a shadow everyone has heard,
[Em]At night he turns into a mocking bird,
If I whistle in the dark, he'll do that [B]too
[Em]I met him on the road today, a s[Am]ilhouette on a black highway
I said "[Em]You can have this w[B]orld, this world is not my [Em]own"
Then he said " Y[Em]ou can keep this wo[B]rld, this world is not my h[Em]ome".
