[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:

A modest man from Mandrake travelled rich to the city.
He had a need to discover a use for his newly found wealth.

 G/D            D D   C/G C/G    C/G  G   G
Because he was human, because he had goodness,
 G/D            D D        C/G   C/G C/G G/D
Because he was moral they called him insane.
 G/D          D   D    C/G    C/G   G  G
Delusions of grandeur, visions of splendor,
  G/D      D            C/G     C/G  G/D
A manic depressive, he walks in the rain.

G/D   D  C/D D  G/D   D D C/D D   CaddD
Eyes wide open, heart undefended...    innocence untarnished.

[Riff 5] x1 /w lyrics:
D              A  Bm                 E
   Cinderella man    doing what you can.
Am                   G
   They can't understand what it means. [Riff 1] x1

   Try as they might they cannot steal your dreams. [Riff 1] x1

[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:

In the betrayal of his love he awakened, to face a world of cold reality.
And a look in the eyes of the hungry, awakened his to what he could do.

   G/D           D D  C/G C/G      C/G  G   G
He held up his riches to challenge the hungry.
 G/D         D D      C/G   C/G G/D
Purposeful motion for one so insane.
 G/D           D     D   C/G           C/G   G
They tried to fight him, just couldn't beat him.
     G/D      D            C/G     C/G  G/D
This manic depressive who walks in the rain.
