[Verse 1]
Who would be [C]born
into [Bm]a mans's man's man's wo[C]rld?
But what [D]do children care
For [C]grown ups' despair
A [F]house can hold both [C]boy and [Am]girl[C]
[Bm]But

[Verse 2]
every mother's [C]son grows up
And [Bm]daughters imitate
[C]And the bur[D]den of carewor[C]n world
Is [F]his to bear

From [G]a childhood clear
Through [F]teenage years
That always [C]seem to be more
[Bm]Trouble than strife.

From the hot [C]dark of the night
To [Bm]the cold light [C]of day

For [G]my own sake I'll [F]comfort take
To [C]know I'd never make [B]a w[Bm]ife
As the [G]open world of [F]a tomboy girl
[C]Closes in with [B]growing [Bm]strife
[G]For my own sake I'll [F]comfort take
In [C]the knowledge that [Bm]I'd never make a wife

[Verse 6]
You [G]hear them talk of [F]women's
way with [C]hatred
And it [B]cuts me [Bm]like a knife
[G]Poor men, so muc[F]h to bear
[C]The children and [Bm]the trouble and [G]strife

[Verse 7]
[F]The open world of [C]a tomboy girl
Is the be[B]st [Bm]of life[G]
From [F]a childhood clear
You [C]end up here
[Bm]In t[G]roub[C]le[G][C]
[G]an[Bm]
[G]d s[Bm]trife[C][G]
