Song Man, sing your song [G] until the morning comes
[A] I can listen as long as [D] you can play
Song Man, can you teach me [G] how to make someone feel good?
[A] I think I'll have a song or two that I might want to sing like [D] you someday
When I was young he'd come [G] around from time to time
[A] He could really make that old [D] piano ring
I remember how my daddy [G] smiled a certain kind of smile
[A] With every song his little [D] friend would sing
Song Man, sing your song until the [G] morning comes
[A] I can listen as long [D] as you can play
Song Man, can you teach me [G] how to make someone feel good?
[A] I think I'll have a song or two that I might want to sing [D] like you someday
He'd sit there in the parlor [G] with a twinkle in his eye
[A] Laughing as he'd have a [D] taste or two
Then all of us would gather [G] round and listen as
[A] He'd play us every song [D] we ever knew
He'd sing of old times and simple rhymes
He'd [G] sing of a lady's fair
[A] One song always made my [D] mama cry
But with every tune he'd fill the [G] room with cowboys, clowns and kings
[A] You could almost touch them [D] if you tried
Song Man, sing your song [G] until the morning comes
[A] I can listen as long as [D] you can play
Song Man, can you teach me [G] how to make someone feel good?
[A] I think I'll have a song or two that I might want to sing like [D] you someday
I
[G] often wondered was he happy all the [D] time
Or [A] did he just [D] play the part?
[Bm] Why he came along and why he always left the same
[Em] Did he seem to hide a [A] broken heart?
[D] Those days are gone forever but [G] some things remain the same
[A] Though I'll get a song or both, [D] I'm going out of style
Beat me to death, oh, no matter [G] what you think or say
[A] I'm just a Song Man trying to [D] make you smile
And Song Man, sing your song [G] until the morning comes
[A] I can listen as long as [D] you can play
