Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C]
[G][Am][G][F]
[F][G][F][G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Take your mind back, [G]I don't know w[C]hen
[G]Sometime when it [Am]always seemed
To [G]be just us and [F]them
[Am]Girls that wore pink
And [G]boys that wore [C]blue
[G]Boys that always [Am]grew up better [G]men
Than me and [F]you
[G]
[Am]What's a man now, [G]what's a man [C]mean
Is he [G]rough or is he [Am]rugged
Is he [G]cultural and [F]clean
[Am]Now it's all change, it's [G]got to change [C]more
Cause we [G]think it's getting [Am]better
But no[G]body's really [F]sure

[Pre-chorus 1]
[F]And so it [G]goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the
[C]real [D]men [E]are

[Interlude 1]
O- [B]oh...[E][B][E]
[A][D]
O- [B]oh...[E][B][E]
[A][D]
[C]A-ah...[Em]
[F][G][F][G][F][G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]See the nice boys, d[G]ancing in [C]pairs
[G]Golden earring [Am]golden tan
[G]Blow-wave in the [F]hair
[Am]Sure they're all straight, [G]straight as a [C]line
[G]All the gays are [Am]macho
Can't you [G]see their leather [F]shine
[G]
You don't [Am]want to sound dumb,
don't [G]want to of[C]fend
So [G]don't call me a [Am]fagot
Not un[G]less you are a [F]friend
[Am]Then if you're tall and [G]handsome and [C]strong
[G]You can wear-the [Am]uniform
and [G]I could play al[F]ong

[Pre-chorus 2]
[F]And so it [G]goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the
[C]real [D]men [E]are

[Interlude 2]
O- [B]oh...[E][B][E]
[A][D]
O- [B]oh...[E][B][E]
[A][D]
[C]A-ah...[Em]
[F][G][F][G][F][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Time to get scared, [G]time to change [C]plan
Don't know [G]how to treat a [Am]lady
Don't know [G]how to be a [F]man
[Am]Time to admit, what [G]you call de[C]feat
Cause there's [G]women running [Am]past you now
And [G]you just drag your [F]feet
[G]
[Am]Man makes a gun, m[G]an goes to w[C]ar
[G]Man can kill and [Am]man can drink
And [G]man can take a [F]whore
[Am]Kill all the blacks, [G]kill all the [C]reds
And if there's [G]war between the [Am]sexes
Then there'll [G]be no people [F]left

[Pre-chorus 3]
[F]And so it [G]goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the
[C]real [D]men [E]are

[Outro 1]
O- [B]oh...[E][B][E]
[A][D]
O- [B]oh...[E][B][E]
[A][D]
[C]A-ah...[Em]
[F][G][F][G][F][G]
