Violent Femmes – Adam Was A Man (Guitar)

 E
[tab] A              E
Just like you or me

B                  A             E
He did not do what he's supposed to

        A         E
And he cries internally

       C#m           E
There's horror in Paradise

       B          E
In the garden of delight

      C#m          E
Where sorrow can paralyze

     B              E
The will to want the right

 E
Eve was a woman

 A               E
Just like you or me

 B                  A              E
She did not do what she's supposed to

        A         E
And she cries eternally

         C#m           E
There's trouble in Paradise

       B            E
In the pathways of delight

            C#m               E
Where the rubble blocks the road of life

           B                     E
There's no light to light in the night

E
What about that snake?

  E
Oh, snake was an animal

  A               E
Almost like you or me

  B                      A            E
He said to do what we're not supposed to

  A               E
And he lies so reasonably

             C#m           E
Because there's madness in Paradise

    B           E
The asylum of delight

      C#m              E
And gladness breaks no morning light

        B             E
By my broken will and might

 E
Oh, God was God

 A              E
Not like you or me

 B                     A         E
He always does and he does just because

    A                     E
So we hope he stays so friendly

          C#m         E
He's the tailor of Paradise

        B               E
In the sweatshops of delight

 C#m               E
Clothing a pair of eyes

         B                   E
And the beauty of wrong and right

 E
Adam was a man

A               E
Just like you or me
