--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man for all Seasons - Al Stewart --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Al Stewart From: “Time Passages” (1978) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] (break) (break) (break) [Verse] What if you reached the age of reason Amaj7 | Bsus4 Bsus4 B | Only to find there was no reprieve Would you still be a man for all seasons? F# | Bsus2 B | Or would you just have to leave We measure our days out B Cdim C#m In steps of un- certainty Not turning to see how we’ve come And peer down the highway From here to e- ternity And reach out for love on the run While the man for all seasons Is lost behind the sun (break) [Interlude] (break) (break) [Verse] Henry Plantagenet still looks for someone Amaj7 | Bsus4 Bsus4 B | To bring good news in his hour of doubt While Thomas More waits in the Tower of London F#9 | Bsus4 B | Watching the sands running out And measures the hours out B Cdim C#m From here to ob- livion In actions that can’t be undone A sailor through the darkness He scans the meridian And caught by the first rays of dawn The man for all seasons Is lost beneath the storm (break) [Bridge] | | | | | And I should know by now I should know by now I hear them call it out all around 2/4 Oh they go: Aah ah ah-ah aah aah aah There’s nothing to believe in 2/4 Hear them: Aah ah ah-ah aah aah aah Just daydreams deceiving they’ll just let you down [Solo] | | | | | | | | | % | | | | | | (break) [Interlude] | | | | % | | | | | % | | | | | % | | | | | % | [Verse] variation So what if you reached the age of reason Amaj7 | Bsus4 Bsus4 B | Only to find there was no reprieve Would you still be a man for all seasons? F#9 | Bsus4 B | Or would you just disbelieve? We measure our gains out B Cdim C#m In luck and co- incidence Lanterns to turn back the night And put our defeats down To chance or ex- perience And try once again for the light Some wait for the waters of fortune to cover them Some just see the tides of ill chance running over them Some call on Jehovah some cry out to Allah Some wait for the boats that still row to Val- hallah Well you should try to accept what the fates are un- folding While some say they’re sure where the blame should be falling You look round for maybe a chance of fore-stalling But too soon it’s over and done (break) And the man for all seasons Is lost behind the sun [Outro] (break) | | % | | |

La chanson aborde la quête de sens et de vérité à travers le parcours de la vie. Elle interroge le destin et la certitude, posant des questions sur la capacité à trouver la paix intérieure face aux doutes et aux incertitudes. Elle évoque des personnages historiques, comme Henry Plantagenet et Thomas More, symbolisant la recherche de réconfort et de lumière dans des moments d’obscurité. Le contexte de cette réflexion se situe à une époque où les valeurs morales et les croyances sont souvent remises en question, illustrant des préoccupations universelles sur la foi et l'espoir en un avenir meilleur. En fin de compte, le message semble souligner la fragilité de notre existence et la difficulté de demeurer ferme dans nos convictions face aux épreuves de la vie.
