Intro:
intro is without guitar, only this bass riff
E ------0--0--7--0--0--5--0--0--3--0--0--5|
verse:
that riff is repeated trough all the verse
I am a man as a man I've been told
Bacon is brought to the house in this mold
Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord
Years I have groveled repentance ignored
And I have been blamed
And I have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended
I am man who has grown from a son
Been crucified by enraged women
I am son who was raised by such men
I'm often reminded of the fools I'm among
And I have been shamed
And I have relented
I'm working my way toward our union mended
And I have been shamed
And I have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended
chorus:
C B A E
we don't fare well with endless reprimands
C B A G F# E (very rapid)
we don't do well with a life served as a sentence
C B A E
this won't work well if you're hell bent on your offence
C B A G F# E (very rapid)
I am a man who understands your resistance
I am a man who still does what he can
to dispel our archaic reputation
I am a man who has heard all he can
cuz I don't fare well with endless punishment
Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended
And we have been blamed and we have repented
I'm working my way toward our union mended
