Chords for Neil Diamond - Man Of God (Live 2008) (Hot August Night NYC)

_ _ Oh yes! _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Thank you guys! _ _
Hi girls!
_ Hey everybody!
Say hi to my friends Julia Waters, _ _ _ Linda Press,
_ _ little sister Maxine Waters, _ _
_ something else.
_ _ You know this [C] band and I have [F] traveled [C] together,
_ lived together, played music together
[F] for [C] over 30 [Am] years. _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [A] Of course, [C] we don't talk to each other.
_ I'm just kidding.
We are truly brothers and [Am] sisters.
_ [C] You need some help out there on the road when you're traveling.
_ [D] When you're [C] down, you need someone to get you up.
When you're out, you need someone to get you in.
[Am] They do it for me [C] and I do it for them.
[Am] That's why we [C] played together for so long.
[Am] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ And to [Am] me, my [C] job is more like a privilege than anything else.
It's an [D] honor.
_ _ [Am] _ _ [C] Go out [F] and travel around the world and [C] sing for people.
_ I've been singing since I was a little boy.
[F] _ _
[C] _ _ [F] But I must [C] admit that every once in a while I [F] think to myself,
[C] I say,
_ [Am] Hey Diamond!
[C] _ What are you doing?
_ _ Why don't you stop all this running?
[G] Traveling [Cm] and packing and [Am] singing and unpacking and traveling and singing and packing and unpacking.
[C] Why don't you just give it up, get a life and quit it? _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, that's exactly the conclusion that I come to.
It ain't gonna happen.
_ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ [A] _ _ [C] I'm on a mission. _ _
I'm on a journey.
_ _ And it's a [F] spiritual journey for sure.
[C] _ _ [F] I'm a man [C] of God.
_ [Am] _
_ [C] _ Though I never learned to pray,
_ [Am] _
_ [C] _ [F] Walked the pathways [G] of the heart,
[F] _
_ [G] _ Found them there along [C] the way.
_ [F] _
_ [C] And I am, yes I am, I'm a man of faith.
[F] _ _
[C] _ [F] Faith is something you can't [C] see.
_ [Am] _ _
[C] _ [G] But if you're gonna make it through,
_ [D] _ _
[A] Faith is how it's gotta [C] be. _ _ _
I'm thanking you Lord [G] for giving me song.
_ For making me strong.
[G] And for taking [C] my hand.
_ _ [D]
I may go to heaven when [G] I reach the end.
But up until then,
Gonna do all I [C] can.
[F] _ _ [C]
And I can, yes I can, be a man of hope. _ _ _
Planted like a tiny seed,
_ [F] _ _ [C] _
[F] Grows a little [G] when you give.
_ _ _ Gives you back when you're in need.
_ [F] _ Oh I am, yes I am, I'm a man of song.
[Am] _ _ [F] Gonna sing it [C] loud and clear.
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ [A] Gonna make a joyful [G] sound.
_ _ _ One that every [C] heart can hear.
[F] _ _ [D] And singing for Him is like [G] touching the sky.
I don't need to know why.
I just know [C] that it is.
[F] _ _ [C] Each [F#] time I sing out I wanna [G] rejoice.
Cause when I hear my voice,
I believe [C] that it's His.
[F] _ [C] And the song that I sing is the song of love.
[F] _ _ [C] Love is something we can't forget.
[F] _ _ _ Sing for every [G] heart in need.
_ _ _ Haven't stopped my [C] singing yet.
[F] _ _ [C] Oh I am, yes I am, I'm a man of God.
[A]
Man [C] of God.
And I am, yes I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of faith.
Man of faith.
Say I am, yes I am, I'm a man, I'm a man of hope.
Man of [F] hope.
I'm a man [C] of God.
[F] Ooh.
[C] _ [F] Yes a man [C] of God.
[Am] Ooh.
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ Man [C] of God.
