Richard Marx – One Man (Guitar)

       E
It's a peaceful thing

             A            B               E
To know that freedom as a rule belongs to me

                  E
There's something very wrong

         A           B              E
When the colour of a man is all you see

      C#m
After all this time

          F#m          B
How can a single voice explain

    C#m            A                F#m
Any reason for the pain we all have seen

           A
It's not a dream

E       B
 One man stood tall

C#m                           A
 And faced the devil with his back to the wall

  E
And took one step

   B               A  E
Closer to Heaven above

      E
So he took a stand

                 A                 B            E
And walked where no one else would dare to even try

           E
It was the only way

           A           B                 E
If not for bravery the soul would surely die

          C#m                        F#m           B
And right before my eyes he gave his life unselfishly

        C#m              A                 F#m
So that all the father's children could be free

                A
Like you and me, yeah

F#m            B
Before his work is done

             E                  C#m
We've got to put an end to this game of

         A    A-Ab-F#m
Choosing sides

                B
I want us to be one

      C#m          A
And I won't let it go

          F#m
Till it's over

               E
I'm here waiting

G       D
 One man stood tall

Em                            C
 And faced the devil with his back to the wall

  G
And took one step

   D               C  G
Closer to Heaven above

G       D
 One man was tall

Em               C                       G
 Faced the devil... with his back to the wall

            D               C  G
One step closer to Heaven above

G       D
 One man stood tall

Em C                     G
    With his back to the wall

   D    C  G
Oo-oh
