The Who – A Man Is A Man (Guitar)

G                F
You talk about crazy affairs

Dm                   C                 G      D C  G   D C G
You talk about your life as though it mattered

G                            F
You get attention 'cos you block the stairs

Dm                   C                 F
Bragging about some bottles you have shattered

      C                G/B
Well, I met a man who really lives

C                 Em
He really does it all

C                              G/B
But what really matters is the heart he gives

C                         D  Dsus4 D
He makes your talk seem small

                 C   G D
When a man is a man

           C         Em D C
He doesn't act to a plan

          G
He don't have to perform like

      D/F#                    F
John Wayne in some B-feature flick

   C        G     D
A man is a man

            C         Em  D C
When he can offer his hand

       G                  D/F#
Not afraid of appearing insane

                      F
if he can't break a brick

                      G
I know a man who's a man

G                     F
Can't you sometimes crack a smile

Dm                   C                      G D C G D C G
Do you think if you did, we would run and tell

G                         F
I know one day your big villian style

Dm                              C                       F
Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell

          C                G/B
I know a man who was once like you

 C                  Em
But he opened his heart

C                G/B
No one is really bad right through

C                 D   Dsus4 D
He's just another part

        C        G D
When a man is a man

         C               Em    D C
And he drinks 'til he's canned

         G
He can drop to the floor, he can weep,

    D/F#           F
we won't ask the price

   C        G  D
A man is a man

         C            Em  D C
He can fall, he can stand

     G                        D/F#
We won't love him more if he keeps

                F
his soul on the ice

                      G
I know a man who's a man

E                   D
Every one of us is looking for fame

        A
He's a looker

E                       D
I know a man who could tighten your rein

        A
He's a father

        D
He's a rocker

        C           G D
He's a man, he's a man

           C         Em  D C
He doesn't act to a plan

         G
He don't have to get hitched to

            D/F#               F
a train in some muscle beach trick

   C        G  D
A man is a man

     G                 D/F#
When he can offer his hand

                            F
Not afraid of apprearing insane

                      G
if he can't break a brick

      C           G
Be a man who's a man
