Biografia:
The Littlest Man Band was started by Scott Klopfenstein of Orange County, California. Scott was a long-time member of Reel Big Fish, a popular ska punk band. Scott had written a number of songs over the years that didn't conform to the usual style of Reel Big Fish. He performed some of these by himself under the pseudonym "The Littlest Man" before being joined by several musicians well known to him from the Long Beach music scene, the majority of whom are fellow ex-members of the band The Scholars.

Song: Better Man
Band: Littlest Man Band
Album: Better Book Ends
Tuning: Standard
Acoustic
This song extremely simple. The chords used are the following:
G:320033
Cadd9:X32033
C:X32010
Dadd4add9:X5403X
Quick note: the transition from G to Cadd9 is always this:
E|---3--3-----3-3-3-3---3---------3-3-3---|
B|---3--3-----3-3-3-3---3---------3-3-3---|
G|---0--------0-0-0-----0---------0-0-0---|
D|---0--------2-2-2-----0---------0-0-0---|
A|---2---2h3-3--3-3-----2---------2-2-2---|
E|-3------------------3-----------3-3-3---|
Also, in the chorus, Dadd4add9 doesn't slide back down to C until around the word "be"
but it's a long chord name and a pain in the ass to fit in there. Listen to the song,
you'll figure the strumming and everything out.
(s=slide to)
Intro during horn solo is just G to Cadd9 to G repeating
G Cadd9 G
I'm not the sharpest shard of glass from this broken window
G Cadd9 G
But there's a few things that I've learned that you might want to know
C
That misery is a talent you can hone
G Cadd9 G
And sorrow is a product we all can't wait to own
C s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s C G Cadd9 G
But I'm just trying to be a better man
G Cadd9 G
Flesh and blood cover the statues on the street
G Cadd9 G
They'll treat you like a friend but they stare at you like fresh meat
C
And the porcelain teeth that smile in your face
G Cadd9 G
Can't wait for you to fall so they can take your place
C s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s C G Cadd9 G
And I'm just trying to be a better man
C s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s C G Cadd9 G
Yeah I'm just trying to be a better man
Horn solo: (is basically one verse and chorus without words)
G Cadd9 G
G Cadd9 G
C
G Cadd9 G
C s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s C G Cadd9 G
C s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s C G Cadd9 G
G Cadd9 G
G Cadd9 G
Lie and cheat your friends while you still have time
G Cadd9 G
And downplay the drama while you figure out a chever rhyme
C
And smile with a semi-sympathetic tone
G Cadd9 G
Can't appreciate good friends until you find you're all alone
C s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s C G Cadd9 G
But I'm just trying to be a metter man
C s Dadd4add9 Dadd4add9 s C G Cadd9 G
Yeah I'm just trying to be a better man
To end repeat G Cadd9 G and end.
