The Man Song – Craig K. West
[Verse 1]
A E
I built a snow man, I didn’t feel like a man then,
A D
You made me feel like a boy when you nearly broke my hand, man
A E
Keep your ice and your snow son I’ll take the warmth of a spring sun
D E A
I wanna feel like a man, I wanna feel like a man.
[Verse 2]
A E
I played in a ball game, it made me feel like a kid again,
A D
The dirt of the infield, the bat that I’d swing man
A E
Keep your masters degrees, I’ll make the throws from my knees
D E A
I wanna feel like a man, I wanna feel like a man.
[Chorus]
D E A G
It takes time to make my money – damn, I wanna feel like a man
D E A G
It takes a while to make me smile– woo you make me feel like a child
D E A G
It takes some doing do get you moving– damn, I wanna feel like a man
F G
It takes growing, I’m tired of growing, I’m tired of growing,
A
I wanna feel like a man.
[Verse 3]
A E
I played in a rock band, I didn’t feel like a man then
A D
The melodies choked me, they stunted my growth, you see,
A
I love the riffs and the stage lights,
E
just tired of talking to bar flies
D E A
I wanna feel like a man, I wanna feel like a man.
[Verse 4]
A E
I got an axe for axing, it made me feel a little more masculine
A D
Chopping wood in my front yard with the wind on my back, man.
A
Keep your cars and your guns, boy,
E
I’ll take the blisters that come, boy
D E A
I wanna feel like a man, I wanna feel like a man.
