G F You talk about crazy affairs Dm C G D C G D C You talk about your life as though it mattered G F You get attention 'cos you block the stairs Dm C F Bragging about some bottles you have shattered C G/B Well, I met a man who really lives C Em He really does it all C G/B But what really matters is the heart he gives C D Dsus4 D He makes your talk seem small Chorus: C G D When a man is a man C Em D C He doesn't act to a plan G He don't have to perform like D/F# F John Wayne in some B-feature flick C G D A man is a man C Em D C When he can offer his hand G D/F# Not afraid of appearing insane F if he can't break a brick G I know a man who's a man Can't you sometimes crack a smile Do you think if you did, we would run and tell I know one day your big villian style Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell I know a man who was once like you But he opened his heart No one is really bad right through He's just another part Chorus: When a man is a man And he drinks 'til he's canned He can drop to the floor, he can weep, we won't ask the price A man is a man He can fall, he can stand We won't love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice I know a man who's a man E D Every one of us is looking for fame A He's a looker He's a dresser He's a genius under pressure E D I know a man who could tighten your rein A He's a father He's a brother D He's a rocker He's a lover He's a man, he's a man He doesn't act to a plan He don't have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick A man is a man When he can offer his hand Not afraid of apprearing insane if he can't break a brick C G Be a man who's a man You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  D  Dm  Dsus4  E  Em  F  F#  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
