                     E
I got up this morning
Put on my shoes
Tied my shoes
Went to the mirror
For to comb my hair
I made a move
Know what to do
Try to break and run

Baby, this ain't me
Baby, this ain't me
Grown so ugly
Grown so ugly
Don't even know myself
Don't even know myself

E            B E
Left Angola, 1964
        B7
Walking down the street
               E
Knock upon my baby's door
        B7
My baby come out
            E7
And ask me who I am
        B7
I say "Honey
                   E
Honey, don't you know your man?"
                      B7
She said "My man been gone
B7
Since 1942
B7
And I tell you, Mr. Ugly
B7
He didn't look like you!"
