[N] [Em] [D]
[G] [D]
[C]
[D]
[Em] Take your mind back, I don't [G] know when, sometime when [Em] it always seemed to be just us and [C] them.
[Em] Girls that wore pink, [D] boys that wore [G] blue, boys that always grew up better men than me and [C] you.
[D]
[Em] What's a [E] man now?
[D] What's a man [G] mean?
[Bm] Is he rough or is he [Em] rugged?
Is he [D] cultural and green?
[Em] Now it's all changed, [D] it's got to change [G] more, cause [Bm] we think it's getting [Em] better but [D] nobody's really [C] sure.
And so it [D] goes, go round again, but now and then we wonder who the [G] [A] real [B] man are.

[B]
[A]
[G]
[Bm] [C]
See [E] the nice boys, [D] dancing [G] in pairs, [Bm] golden earring, golden tan, [D] blow waving the hair.
[Em] Sure they're all straight, [D] straight as a [C] line, [Bm] all the gays [Em] are macho, can't you [D] see the leather [C] shine?
[D]
You don't [Em] want to sound dumb, [D] don't want to [G] offend, [Bm] so don't call me [G] a faggot not unless you are a friend.
[E] Then if you're tall [D] and handsome [Bm] and strong, you can wear [G] the uniform and I could [D] play along.
[C]
And so it goes, go round again, [D] but now and then we wonder who the [G] [A] real [B] man are.

[B] [C]
[Em] Time to get scared, [D] time to [G] change plan, don't [Bm] know how to treat a [G] lady, don't know how to be a [C] man.
[Em] Time to admit what [D] you call [G] defeat, cause [Bm] there's women running [Em] past you now [D] and you just drag your [C] feet.
[D]
[Em] Man makes a gun, [D] man goes to [G] war, [Bm] man can kill [G] and man can drink and man can take [C] a whore.
[Em] Kill all the blacks,
[D] kill all the [G] reds, and if [Bm] there's war between [Em] the sexes then [D] there'll be no people [C] left.
And so [D] it goes, go round again, but now and then we wonder [G] who the real [A] man [B] are.
Who are,
[A]
[B] who are,
[A]
who are, [G] who are.
