They Might Be Giants – My Man (Guitar)

C  F    Dm            G         C
My man, muscles from hand to foot

           F       Dm       G      C
completely coated in uninterrupted skin

C   F    Dm       G
My man signals command the

  C           F      Dm               G
leg to follow orders coming down from headquarters

Eb   Ab  Fm      Bb
Why then am I in bed?

  C        F             Dm          G
I guess my man's falling out with my head

C                   G                         Dm
May I direct your attention to the following simile

                 F
You're like the coasts of an ocean

G                       Dm
Buried beneath is the submarine cable

   F                    G
connecting the opposite shore that's surrounding

C   F   Dm          G
My man, how can he stand

     C              F       Dm               G
Your fingers could encircle clear around the ankle

C   F  Dm          G
My man won't walk again

   C               F          Dm              G
In conflict with expressed instructions given by the brain

Eb  Ab        Fm         Bb
Why can't the message be sent?

  C        F            Dm          G
I guess my man's fallen out with my head.

C                         G                     Dm
When something happens to drag the floor of the ocean,

                F
for instance an anchor or mooring,

G                    Dm                 F
 the cable can be disrupted and even be severed

 F               G
which halts transmission across it

Fm                             Bb
 There is no way to repair the break

C  F    Dm            G         C
My man, muscles from hand to foot

           F       Dm       G      C
completely coated in uninterrupted skin

C   F    Dm       G
My man signals command the

  C           F      Dm               G
leg to follow orders coming down from headquarters

C  F    Dm          G
My man, how can he stand

   C    F           Dm       G
My man, muscles from hand to foot

Eb  Ab        Fm         Bb        C
completely coated in uninterrupted skin

C  F         Dm    G
My man won't walk again
