CmWell, you can tell by the way I use my walk
A# CmI'm a woman's man, no time to talk
CmMusic loud and women warm
A# CmI've been kicked around since I was born
FBut now it's all right, that's okay
FYou may look the other way
FWe can try to understand
FThe New York Times' effect on man
CmWhether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
CmYou're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
CmFeel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
