Be a Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Hey! yeah, yeah. Uh huh.
[Em]Bustin' ass all day
Just to put food on the table.
And I always will for as long as I am able.
Done all I could,
Ev'rything that a man [Edim]should do.
Still they refuse to call me,
Call me [Em]what I am. Hey!

[Verse 2]
Do you know what it takes to be a man?
Don't take a whole lots of money,
[Edim]Diamond rings upon your hand,
[C]no.
That ain't what it [Edim]takes[Em]
[C]to be [Gm]a man.[C]
[Edim]Do right [Em]by the ones you love,
Always give [C]a helpin' [Edim]hand. Yes,
I do.
[Em]Now I've been through it

[Verse 3]
all
Seen the good, the bad, the ugly.
[C]Always take care of my
share of respons[Edim]ibilities.
[Em]Now, [C]jus[Edim]t[Em]
because I grow my hair
And play in a rockin' band,
Old folks are always telling me,
"Boy, why don't you grow up
And be a man." Hey!

[Verse 4]
I know what [Em]it takes [Edim]to be a[Em] man.
It [C]ain't [Em]the way you l[F]ook
Or the clothes [Em]that you wear.
[F]That [Em]ain't what it takes[F] to be a man.
Do right by [Em]the ones you love,
[F]Always [C]lend a h[Em]elpin'
[Am]hand[Em].[F]
I know I got [C]what it

[Verse 5]
[Edim]takes,
[Em]I know I got [C]what it
[Em]takes to [Edim]be a man.
[C]So go [Gm]ahead [Edim]and
say what you [Em]will.
Because I know what I am,
[F]Just [Em]what [C]I [Edim]am. Ow![Em]
Alright. Ow! Hey!

[Verse 6]
I know what it takes to be [F]a
[Gm]man.[Edim]
I've [Em]got w[C]ha[Edim]t it takes
[Em]And you know I know what I am.
I know what it takes to [Edim]be a man.
So [F]go ahead, say what you will
'Cause [Edim]I know what I [Em]am.
I'm a man.
[Em]Hoo hoo hoo hoo. I'm a man.
I know I got what [C]it takes,[Edim]
I know I got what it takes, ow!
