Verse 1:
FA7 When you're on the bottom like I am today, D7 And those around you are losing faith, In what you're tryin' to do; G9C7 There is only one thing a man can say; DmBbC7FC7, F You can't keep a good man down.
Verse 2:
FA7 There've been mistakes and I've made a few, D7 But, oh, what a price I had to pay. G9C7 Yet still they try to push me a-round, DmBbC7FC, C7 But they can't keep a good man down.
Bridge 1:
F7 There may be times, when I'm feelin' low, EbBbABb I lose sight of the dream. EbBbABb (Don't lose sight of the dream).
G7 But that's alright, 'cos soon, I know; C7 I'll be back on top again, runnin' things. Hey, hey.
Verse 3:
FA7 Treat a man like dirt; give him no respect for who he is, D7 Expect something dirty in return. G9C7 Oh,they're flyin' high up there but they've got a lot to learn. DmBbC7FC7, F Because you can't keep a good man down.
