Man On The Rocks

Mike Oldfield

Transposer:

verse 1 So you come to my world I can show you Where they lead to the footprints in the sand On the paths through the valleys and canyons To the veins in your arm take my hand I?m the man on the rocks on the island The black pearl the fool on the hill I?m the gold at the end of the rainbow If I ask you to follow you will verse 2 So you come to my world to find freedom Give you wings to the stars you can fly Bring you hope and a dream to believe in As you float through the dark crimson sky I?m the man on the rocks on the island The jewel in the crown of the king I?m the hope in the hearts of the helpless The choir where no-one will sing verse 3 - Key Change There?s a trail out of the canyon There?s a new life waiting out there It?ll take you home out of this chasm Where there?s blue sky sunlight to share verse 4 - Heavier Guitar Chords So you come to my world to escape it all And you?re running from the dragons and the fools e|--h------| B|-6-8-----| G|-----8---| D|-------8-| A|---------| E|---------| Through the dark empty caverns deep in your soul Chasing the tiger the jewels I?m the the man on the rocks on the island I?m the beggar the loser the cheat So now you come to the gates for redemption With a ball and chain at your feet VERSE 5 - Key Change There?s a trail out of the canyon There?s a new life waiting out there It?ll take you home out of this chasm Where there?s blue sky sunlight to share 03:57 SOLO ***** GUITAR 1 - Electric s e|---b----br------|---b----br-----|---b-----b--10-10-\-| B|--11---11-10----|--11---11-10---|--11----10----------| G|----------------|---------------|--------------------| D|----------------|---------------|--------------------| A|----------------|---------------|--------------------| E|----------------|---------------|--------------------| | | |GUITAR 2 - Slide Electric | e|----s------s----|---s------s----|---s------s-------s-| B|-11-\13--13\-10-|-11\13--13\-10-|-11\13--11\-15-15-\-| G|----------------|---------------|--------------------| D|----------------|---------------|--------------------| A|----------------|---------------|--------------------| E|----------------|---------------|--------------------| GUITAR 1 - Electric e|---b----br------|---b----br-----|---b--------h--p-----h--p-----| B|--11---11-10----|--11---11-10---|--11--11--10-11-10--8-10-8--6-| G|----------------|---------------|------------------------------| D|----------------|---------------|------------------------------| A|----------------|---------------|------------------------------| E|----------------|---------------|------------------------------| | | |GUITAR 2 - Slide Electric | e|----s------s----|---s------s----|---s--------------------------| B|-11-\13--13\-10-|-11\13--13\-10-|-11\13--11--------------------| G|----------------|---------------|------------------------------| D|----------------|---------------|------------------------------| A|----------------|---------------|------------------------------| E|----------------|---------------|------------------------------|X2 ---------------------------------------------------- I?m the the man on the rocks on the island e|-----------------6-----------------------------------------| B|--------------9--6--9-8--------------------------11~~~~~~~-| G|--------------9-----9-8-------------------s---10-----------| D|-------------------------------------8---8\12--------------| A|---------------------------------5-8-----------------------| E|-----------------------------6-6---------------------------| I?m the the man on the rocks on the island 04:47 e|-16----------------s---11-|----------------| B|---------------9-11\13----|------------s---| G|---------s---8------------|-----------6\8--| D|-----6--8\10--------------|----s---8-------| A|--------------------------|-6-8\10---------| E|--------------------------|----------------| b e|---------------------------13-15-15-13----| B|--------------------s---13-------------13-| G|---------------10-12\14-------------------| D|--------s---10----------------------------| A|-6-8--10\12-------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------- Repeat SOLO Above ---------------------------------------------------- I?m the the man on the rocks on the island 06:29 e|---s--------------------s-----------s--s---15-13-----b-| B|-13\16-16-16--16-16---11\16-16-16-16\11/16-------16-16-| G|-------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------| I?m the the man on the rocks on the island 06:49 b b e|---s---------13-13----15-| B|-11\16-11-16-------16----| G|-------------------------| D|-------------------------| A|-------------------------| E|-------------------------|

Pictures in the Dark

La chanson invite l'auditeur à explorer un monde symbolique, où se mêlent espoir et quête de liberté. Le narrateur offre sa main pour guider l'autre à travers des paysages intérieurs tumultueux, à la recherche d'un sens et d'une échappatoire. Il se présente comme une figure renvoyant à la sagesse, à la richesse des émotions humaines, mais aussi à une vulnérabilité palpable, révélant ainsi les différentes facettes de l'existence. Au fil des vers, la promesse d'un nouveau départ en dehors des ombres et des défis du passé émerge, évoquant des images de ciel bleu et de lumière. Cette traversée revêt une dimension presque spirituelle, suggérant que même dans les moments de douleur, la possibilité de rédemption et de renouveau est à portée de main.
