Chords for Billy Strings - Be Your Man (Official Lyric Video)

_ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
When I got to New [A] York City [C] I was looking for [G] another side [D] of life _ _ _ _
And my feet were so [A] damn [C] calloused I could probably walk [G] the edges of [D] a knife _ _ _ _
My [Bm] mistakes had often [A] led me to [C] believe I'll never [G] find an open [D] door
_ _ _ [A] _ _
Now [D] I'm busted, flat and broken [Am] And I don't know what [G] the hell I'm [D] waiting for _ _ _ _
Some could see that I [A] was stumbling [C] And a couple [G] even stopped to [D] lend a hand _ _ _ _
_ Most would pass me [A] by and [G] ridicule And fail to recognize a [D] fellow man _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] Now the wind is [A] growing bitter [C] And the leaves [G] begin to die and [D] start to fall
_ _ _ [A] _
_ And I wonder [A] if next summer [C] if I'll even [G] be around this [D] place at all _ _ _ _
_ [A] If I could go [G] back to the [D] days when I was young _ _
_ [A] I'd travel the whole [G] world over and [D] then some _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] And I'd come [A] back to you [C] with an [G] everlasting lily [D] in my hand
_ [A] _ _
_ [D] And I'd show the [A] world just what it [C] means to me, for [G] me to get to be [D] your man _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ On the edges of a fading afternoon I [G] heard a voice within [D] my head _ _ _
_ And the echoes of [A] forgotten words [C] from all the dusty [G] books I haven't [D] read _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] And I wondered [A] if by chance [C] I should have listened [G] back to what they [D] said in school
_ _ _ [A] _
_ It occurred to [A] me I might have [Am] been the class clown [G] then, but now I'm [D] just a fool _ _ _ _
_ [A] If I could go [G] back to the days [D] when I was young _ _
_ [A] I'd travel the whole [G] world [E] over and then [D] some _ _ _ _
And [Bm] I'd come [A] back to you [C] with an [G] everlasting lily in [D] my hand
_ _ [A] _ _
And [D] I'd show the world [A] just what it means [C] to me, for me [G] to get to be [D] your man _ _ _ _
Yes, I'd show the world [A] just what it means [Am] to me, for me [G] to get to be [D] your man _ _ _ _
