Randy Newman – Naked Man (Guitar)

A                    E7
Old lady lost in the city

                         A
In the middle of a cold, cold night

                                   E7
It was fourteen below and the wind start to blow

                            A
There wasn't a boy scout in sight

A                               E7
Pull down the shades cause he's comin'

                               A
Turn out the lights cause he's here

                                         E7
Runnin' hard down the street through the snow and the sleet

                            A
On the coldest night of the year

A         E       A           E     A     A  A
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man

A         E       A           E     A     A  A
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man

A                       E7
Old lady head up toward broad street

                             A
Shufflin' uptown against the wind

                         E7
She had started to cry - wiped a tear from her eye

                                 A
And looked back to see where she had been

A                     E7
Old lady stand on the corner

                    A
With a purse in her hand

                           E7
She does not know but in a minute or so

                              A
She will be robbed by a naked man

A         E       A           E     A    A  A
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man

A         E       A           E     A    A  A
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man

A                       E7
Old lady lean against a lamppost

                              A
Starin' down at the ground on which she stand

                               E7
She look up and scream for the lamplight's beam

                             A
There stood the famous naked man

         F#m                             D
He say, "they found out about my sister, kicked me out of the navy,

C#7
They would have strung me up if they could.

F#m        A               D
I tried to explain that we were both of us lazy

      E7
We're doing the best we could."

A
He faked to the left

       E7
and he faked to the right

                                   A
And he snatched the purse from her hand

      E7
As he faded from sight,

              A
"Won't nobody help a naked man?"

D             E            A
"Won't nobody help a naked man?"

A         E       A           E     A    A  A
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man

A         E       A           E     A    A  A
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
