A Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I am a man, as a man,
I've been told
Bacon is brought to the house in this mold
Born of your bellies, I yearn for the cord
Years I have groveled, repentance ignored

[Verse 2]
And [Em]I have been blamed
And I have been repented
I'm working my way

[Interlude 1]
toward our union mended
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]I am a man who has grown from a son
Been crucified by enraged women
[D]I a[Em]m a son who was
raised by such men
I'm often reminded of the
fools I'm among

[Verse 4]
And [Em]I have been shamed
And I have relented
[D]I'm [Em]working my way toward
our union [Am]men [Em]ded
An[D]d I [Em]have been shamed
And I have repented
[D]I'm [Em]working my way toward

[Verse 5]
our union mended
[C]
We don't [Em]fare well with
[Am]endless reprimand[Em]s[C]
We don't do [Em]well with a [Am]life
served as a [Em]sentence [D]and
[C]This won't work [Em]well [B]if [Em]you're
[Am]hell bent on [Em]your offense
[C]'Cause I am a [B]man [Em]who
under[Am]stands your [Em]reticence

[Verse 6]
[Em]I am a man who still does what he can
To dispel our archaic reputation
I am a man who has heard all he can
'Cause I don't fare well with
endless punishment

[Verse 7]
'Cause [Am]I hav[Em]e been blamed
and I [C]have re[Em]pented
I'm working my way toward
our uni[D]on [Em]mended
And [D]we [Em]have been blamed and
we have [Am]re p[Em]ented
[D]I'm [Em]working my way toward

[Verse 8]
our union mended
[C]
We don't fare [Em]well with endless
[Am]reprimands and[Em][C]
We don't do [Em]well with a life
[Am]served as a [Em]sentence [D]and
[C]This won't work [Em]well [B]if [Em]you're
[Am]hell bent on [Em]your offense
[C]'Cause I am a [Em]man [B]who [Em]unde[Am]rstands your reticence
