Richard Thompson A MAN IN NEED
A I packed my rags went down the hill Left my dependents A-lying still F#m Just as the dawn was rising up E I was making good speed A I left a letter lying on the bed F#m From a man in need it read AED It's so hard to find AED It's so hard to find A Who's going to cure F#mEDAF#mA The heart of a man in need?
All of my friends don't comprehend me Their kind of style it just offends me I want to take them I want to shake them 'Til they pay me some heed You've got to ride in one direction Until you find the right connection
It's so hard to find It's so hard to find Who's going to cure The heart of a man in need?
(Guitar solo over verse and chorus chords)
Who's going to give you Real happiness? Who's going to give you contentedness? Who's going to lead you? Who's going to feed you? And cut you free? Well I've sailed every ship in the sea But I traveled this world in misery
It's so hard to find It's so hard to find Who's going to cure The heart of a man in need?
EDA Who's going to shoe your feet? EDA Who's going to pay your rent? EDA Who's going to stand by you? AF#mEDAF#mA Who's going to cure the heart of a man in need?
