Cast No Shadow by Oasis

At first, I had nightmares working out the chords for this beautiful song,
but then I watched Noel perform it live, on his own, and even though I
didn't watch his hands, the inspiration came.

			Cast No Shadow

A7sus4
Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
 		G
what is in his hands (what's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life, surviving if he can

Em 		    D 		     C 			G
But with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
But with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Em 		D 	C
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

G 		A7sus4 			C 	Em-D
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
Em 		D 	C
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
 		G
what is in his hands (what's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life,
surviving if he can (but only if he can)

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

As they took his soul they stole his pride (x3)
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow (x4)
(ends on a C-G)

Cast No Shadow, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis.
Song can be found on the album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?"
The chords I have listed differ from those listed in the official guitar
book for the album (WTS)MG?, because, as is the case with many
transcriptions in Oasis' "official" guitar books, I think the one in the
book is not quite accurate.
