Verse 1:
Am
I was sittin in my house
Em7
staring at my TV
Dm
and the lady on the set
E7#9
her finger pointed at me
Am
She was lookin pretty mad
Em7
Maybe even crazy
Dm
She was blaming me for things
E7#9
Convinced that I was guilty
Am
All the evil in the world
Em7
comes from people like me
Dm
And because I was a man
E7#9
I was threatening her safety
Am
I just shook my head
Em7
and I said now how can that be?
Dm
just because I am a man
E7#9
how can that make you unhappy?
Instrumental Break:

Chorus:
Am
What is a man
Em7
a provider to his family
Dm
a protector of his daughter
E7#9
and a hero to his son
Am
What is a man
Em7
he's repectful to his neighbor
Dm
he shows kindness to a stranger
E7#9
and knows how to have fun
Am
What is a man...
(Repeat Inst. Break)
(Guitar solo on verse)
Verse 2:
Am
Now in our society
Em7
there are good and bad examples
Dm
of just what a man should be
E7#9
and I'll point you to a sample
Am
he was nailed up on a tree
Em7
and his sacrifice was ample
Dm
he gave his life for you and me
E7#9
it was really quite a scandle
Am
A man can be a hero
Em7
by the actions in his life
Dm
or then he can be a zero
E7#9
and be cheatin on his wife
Am
he can run into the fire
Em7
and he can save a life
Dm
or give into human weakness
E7#9
causing agony and strife
what is a man...
(inst. break)
Chorus:
Am
What is a man
Em7
a provider to his family
Dm
a protector of his daughter
E7#9
and a hero to his son
Am
What is a man
Em7
he's repectful to his neighbor
Dm
he shows kindness to a stranger
E7#9
and knows how to have fun
Am
What is a man...
