The Who - A Man Is A Man: chords

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
