C#mWell, you can tell by the way I use my walk

B C#mI'm a woman's man, no time to talk

C#mMusic loud and women warm

B C#mI've been kicked around since I was born

F#But now it's all right, that's okay

F#You may look the other way

F#We can try to understand

F#The New York Times' effect on man

C#mWhether you're a brother or whether you're a mother

C#mGot the wings of heaven on my shoes

F#You know, it's all right, it's okay

F#I'll live to see another day

F#We can try to understand

F#The New York Times' effect on man

C#mWhether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
