A I know a man, he's a powerful man D He's got the people in his power A in the palm of his hand. A He started at the bottom and he worked his way up D Now he's never going to stop Until A he reaches the top. Chorus: A D A D It's the same old story, it's the same old dream, It's power man, power man, A and all that it can bring. If you want your money, better stand in the line But you'll only end up picking up the nickels and dimes You call him names and he sits and grins 'Cause everybody else is just a sucker to him Chorus: And he's got my money But I've got my faith And Powerman, Powerman, I'll never be your slave It's the same old story It's the same old game Powerman, Powerman, he's driving me insane G D/F# People tried to conquer the world Napoleon and Genghis Khan F C Hitler tried and Mussolini too G D/F# Powerman don't need to fight, powerman don't need no guns F C A D Powerman got money on his side Well I'm not rich and I'm not free But I've got my girl and she got me He's got my money and my publishing rights But I've got my girl and I'm alright Chorus: And she's got me going And she keeps me sane Powerman, Powerman, got money on the brain It's the same old story It's the same old game Powerman, Powerman, he's driving me insane You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  D  F  F#  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
