Song Man Chords by Harry Chapin

[F] Leon wrote a [C] song for his special girl, [F] and Elton and [C] Bernie did too.
[F] But you've been [C] mine for such a [Am] long time, [Dm] baby, it's my turn [G] to write one for you.
[Dm] And it's the best that [C] this poor boy can do.
_ [F] _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
You see, I don't know what [E] to tell you, baby.
[F] I can't say [C] thanks a lot, for I know I [E] really owe you [F] for almost [G] everything I've got.
[C] You were with me [Em] in the good [F] times and when things were [Em] going bad.
[Am] You were [C] with me [F] when your love [D] was the only [G] thing I had.
[F] Yes, I have [Fm] been a song man [C] for a [Em] long, [A] long [G] time.
[Dm] Coming [G] up with melodies, [A] [G] trying to find some [C] words that [Em] rhyme.
[F] And while I [Ab] have been singing, [C] you've been [G] there to [A] see me through.
[Dm] So I think [G] it's long past [F] time [Ab] I wrote this [C] song for you.
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[F] You [Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ know I wanted to [Em] keep it simple, [F] and not [C] make it too long.
But I had hoped to [E] make it beautiful, [F] for after all, [G] it is your song.
[C] Yes, you know how [E] I love my music.
[F] It's my life [Em] and livelihood.
[E] [Am] But of all that's [F] happened to me, [D] baby, you are [G] everything that's [F] good.
And I have [Fm] been a song man [C] for such a [Em] long, [A] long [Bm] time.
[Dm] Coming [G] up with melodies, [Am] [G] trying to find some [C] words that [Dm] rhyme.
[F] And while I [Fm] have been singing, [C] you've been [Em] there to [A] see me through.
[Dm] So I think [G] it's long past [F] time [Ab] I wrote this song [C] for you. _ _
