One man band (video)

C - F - G - C (2x)

C F - G C

1. I’ve got to get my stuff together, now I’m a heading on,

C F - G C

got to do the things that I’ve been speaking of.

C F - G C

I got to show the world the difference between right and wrong,

- Am F - G C

and, yes, I ’ve got to make myself a living writing songs.

+ C - F - G - C (2x)

C F - G C

2. I’m just a lonely singer on a lonely road,

C F - G C

this is the only life that I’ve chose.

C F G C

I’ve given more, so much more than what I’ve got,

Am F - G C

everything you think I am, I am not.

 - - - - - - - - - - C

Coz I’m just a one man travelling band,

F

writing down poems on the back of my hand,

G C

only hoping you will understand me.

C

And I’ve come a long way, I’ve given up the cocaine,

F

looking for a chance to play

G C

a couple of songs I wrote along the way.

G

I never thought that I would have a modern guitar,

C

I’d be the man on stage, no,

G

never thought that I would get to see the world,

C

lovely Mrs Balarade.

C7 F C

Well, I headed out to California for margaritas by the pool,

G F C

at the house of a good old friend of mine I knew when back in school.

+ C - F - G - C (2x)

C F G C

3. Just a box of wood, six strings, this guitar,

C F G C

I’ve played in bedrooms, I’m still playing in bars.

C F G C

On the city streets with pennies at my feet,

- Am F G C

man, you know, I will play for money, I will play for free.

+ CHORUS
