[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
My [D]ancestors were kings of old
They rule the [G]world
And all of its gold
[Bm]But look at [A]me
Oh -oh -oh [G]-oh -oh
Just look [D]at me
Look at me
My ancestors would fight the sun
Before they [G]bowed down to anyone
But you ought to look [A]at me,
oh, [G]oh, oh
Just look at [D]me, yeah, [G]oh, [D]yeah[A][D]
[G]Oh, look at me,
I'm a [D]stranger in this land
[G]Look at me, stand tall,
[E]help me, help me be
just a [A]man.[Bb]
[Eb]My ancestors, they were mighty men.
And my [Ab]son, he will be one of them.
Then they'll look [Bb]at him.
They will [Eb]look at [Ab]him and they'll say he's a m[Eb]an,
he's a [Db]man, my son will be a [B]man
Oh, [Bb]oh, [Eb]my ancestors they[Ebsus4]
[Ab]pass[Eb]ed it on to me
Now [Ebsus4]watch me, watch me work,
[Eb]and [Ebsus4]pass it on [Eb]to him
I'll pass it on to my son,
[Ebsus4]my son will be a man[Eb]
