[D] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [A] And dad, [G] dad was a photographer in Ottawa.
[D] He was from Denmark.
[E] _
_ He was [A] Paul Voldemort [D] Herzog.
[A] So am I.
_ He [Bm] got the Paul, I got the [A] Voldemort. _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] So Volley is an _
[Em] abbreviation which [A] I _ _ _
[F] adopted _ _ on my porch as [F#] I was [G] leaving home at the age of 18.
[C] He came out to the front porch and gave me [A] 20 bucks and said, save it for your [D] wife. _
_ _ _ _ [C#] The only [Bm] sex education I [A] ever had.
_ [G] _
_ _ So I [D] spent the 20 bucks.
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ And [A] he also said, if you're going [Bm] into show business, please [A] don't use the family [G] name.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Em] It was his first, so [A] he got it right.
So [F] I _ _ _ _ _ became [G]
Voldy on the spot there.
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _
[Cm] _ Fits on a marquee way better than _
[A] Voldemort Herzog would, so it was probably [D] a boon in the end.
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [A] But by way of [G]
introduction, allow me [Em] to do this.
[A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ I _ _ am [D] not a free _ man. _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] Neither am [G] I _ _ [D] chained. _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] I am not [D] a wise _ [C#] man. _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ _ Neither [G] am I _ [D] _ _ rearranged.
[Em] _
_ _ _ _ [B] I am not [F] a new _ man.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ [Am] But neither [C] am I old.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'm [D] not a rich _ man.
[A] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [Bm] But still [A] I cannot [G]
be sold.
_ _ [A] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] I am [F] one.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ [Bm] You _
[C] are another. _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [F#m] I _ [Bm] _ _
had a [Em] family. _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ Look, now I [C] have another. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [D] And I'm not a good _ [A] man.
_ _ [B] _ [Bm] No, but neither am [G] _ I cruel.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm not a learned [D] man by any [C#] _ _ [Bm] means.
But _
[D] neither [G] am _ I a [D] _
fool.
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
I am [F] not an ordinary _ _ sort [G] of man.
But [Am]
neither [G] am I [C] strange.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
I am [D] not your _ [A] man.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[A] That could still [G] be _ _ [Em]
changed.
_ _ [D] No, [Em] _ _ _
_ [A] I am [D] not your _ _ [A] man.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [A] That could still [Gm] be _ changed.
_ _ Oh, oh, _ [Em] _
oh, oh, [A] _ [G] oh, _ [Em] _
_ oh, [D] oh, oh, oh, _ [A] oh.
_ _ [Bm] In _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ fact, [D] that has been _ [Em] changed. _ _ _
[A] Kathleen and I have been [D] together for 29 years and [C#m] married for [Bm] 25.
_ And [A] that's a record for both [G] of _ us.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ I think that [D] I'm a very lucky man to [A] have her in my life.
[Bm] I'm not sure that [A] she's as lucky as I [G] am. _ _ _
[D] _ _ I [Em] got lucky with this [A] song, too.
_ [F] Quincy Jones took this and put it in the movie.
[G] It was called The Getaway.
_ With [C] Ali McGraw and Steve McQueen, [B] the original [C] version.
[A] _ _ _
And it wasn't a very tender part [D] of the movie,
but the [A] song was in it.
_ _ [B] _ _
In fact, it [Am] was a Sam Peckinpah movie.
There [G] was no tenderness in it [D] at all, you know?
_ _ [Em] _ _
Blood and [A] guts.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
Still, [A] it was a buck 3.80,
[B] and the fact that [Bm] he chose my [A] song, I was a happy [G] camper. _
And he [D] subsequently recorded [Em] it himself.
[A] He put it on an [F] album called Body Heat,
which was a jazz album,
so of course [G] there was no money in that either.
[Am] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] But Quincy Jones, taking [C#] my song and recording it,
and [D] he sang this puppy [A] too.
He actually slowed [B] it down [Bm] and [A] had background LA [Em] singers.
We called [D] them Bee Gees, [G] the background [A] vocalists.
And it was,
♪ I am not [D] a free man, [C#] just a [A] man, just a man, [Bm] woo woo woo.
♪
I don't know, I [A] don't know.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] It was marvelous.
So [Em] lucky.
_ That's [A] enough about that [Bm] song.
[A] Or what, wasn't [G] it The [A] Narcissist Says?
[G] That's enough about [C#m] me.
What about [A] you?
[Bm] What do you [C#] think of me?
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _
