[Verse 1]
  A               G       D
A modest man from Mandrake
A                     D
Travelled rich to the city
   A               G     D
He had a need to discover
A                               D
A use for his newly-found wealth

D
Because he was human
  C            G
Because he had goodness
  D
Because he was moral
            G
They called him insane

  D
Delusions of grandeur
  G
Visions of splendor
  D
A manic depressive
         C      G
He walks in the rain

D
Eyes wide open

Heart undefended
C
Innocence untarnished...


[Chorus]
D            A
  Cinderella Man
Bm               E
  Doing what you can
Am                G
  They can't understand
             Bm B E G
What it means

D            A
  Cinderella Man
Bm                E
  Hang on to your plans
Am
Try as they might
     G                 Bm      A
They cannot steal your dreams  whoa

[Verse 2]
       A                        G      D
In the betrayal of his love he awakened
A                         D
To face a world of cold reality
      A                       G     D
And a look in the eyes of the hungry
 A                            D
Awakened him to what he could do

D
He held up his riches
   G
To challenge the hungry
D
Purposeful motion
    G
For one so insane

D
They tried to fight him
     G
Just couldn't beat him
     D
This manic depressive
          C      G
Who walks in the rain
