The Man chords by George Beverly Shea
Verse 1
Ddim
A
D
There once was a man,
a long time ago,
a -standin' all alone
against the status quo.
G
He worked with his hands,
and grew tall and strong.
D
He worked with his mind
assorted right from wrong.
F#m
He was sure of his mission,
G
and he spoke loud and clear.
Em
A
He got every eye,
D
G
D
and he got every ear.
But some didn't like him,
it was plain to see,
Cause he put them down
for their hypocrisy.
G
The idea of lovin' was drastic and new,
D
An d buckin' the crowd
was just too much to do.
F#m
Well, things haven't changed
G
from those days of old,
Em
They still try to make him
A
D
fit into their mold,
G
D
G
into their mold.
D
A
D
There isn't a man or a woman too low
A
D
but what he would love him
and help him to know
G
That if they would dare to
prove him on out,
D
he'd slam down all their fear
And all of their doubts
F#m
G
It's not the easiest choice you can make
Em
It's playing for keeps
A
D
With a whole lot at stake
G
With a whole lot at stake
D
A whole lot at stake
Now you can't go appointing
At what others do
Cause it's a personal thing,
strictly between him and you
G
And if you're really wantin'
to give life a pull
D
Alive to your fingertips, rimmin' and full
F#m
Then give him a try,
G
goin' out on a limb
Em
A
You'll nev er know life
D
Till you really know
G
Him
D
G
D
