Hi there,

For the fans of the best singer/songwriter of our time: ;-) Here is our effort to denote Luka Bloom's The Man Is Alive. The song comes Here in two versions: in open D-tuning, as it's probably played by Luka Himself, and in normal tuning. We start with the open D-tuning.

We stood among the totempole Under the Canadian moonlight. She told me all about her childhood days On the Vancouver mountain side. An eightteen month old baby, the night her daddy passed away. We stood and watched the darkness Flowing into the light of day.

The night sometimes seems dangerous Wonder what it hides. It sometimes brings us closer And forever changes our lives. Strangers talk in open ways, We cannot always understand But we began to feel the loving touch And seen the guiding hand.

The man is alive, alive and breathing. It's taken me so long to see. The man is alive, alive and breathing. The man is alive in me.

As said, it can also be played in normal tuning. We will only give the chord Progressions and fingerings of this one.

Verse chords:

G: C D

The C is played where in open D tuning G/C is denoted, the D where Am/D is Denoted. The chorus is played as follows:

And then back to the verse:

Anyway, for lazy players (like one of us) this sounds quite good too ;-).
