Or even lions fear him.

[F#m]
[C#] [A]
[D] [F#m]
[C#m] [A]
[D] Growing in a [E] neighborhood for such [D] a long time, [A] that is [D] filled with fear.
[A]
[D] [A]
I [D] can't go here, [A] can't go there, [D] and I ain't [A] supposed to.
[Bm] We didn't rest anywhere at all.
[A]
[D] When I asked my [E] mom if she [D] could let me [A]
go [D] out and [A] play like [D] little children [A] do.
She said [D] be careful of the [A] strangers,
[D] giving candies to [A] children and then [Bm] take them away.
[A]
[G] He lives in the [D] gullies of the city.
[A] He's a black heart man, y [F#m]'all.
[A] He's a black heart [G] man.
Even in the [D] lonely parts of the country,
[A] yeah.
You'll find a black heart man, y [C#m]'all.
[A] He's a black heart [G] man.
He ain't got no [D] friends, no home, no family.
[A] He's the black heart man, y'all.
That's the black heart [G] man.
He's famed [D] to live just like a gypsy.
[A] He's the black heart man, [C#m] yeah.
[A]
[D] Growing and learning and [A] gathering, [D] a [A] little more [D] exterior, [A]
jumping [D] over the [E] fence.
[A]
[D] Curiosity has [A] brought me, yes [D] it brought me in, [A]
a [Bm] little common sense, yeah.
[A]
[D] Crossing the road of [A] life, I've [D] come to [A] this one [F#m] conclusion, [A]
[D] [G] [A]
that [D] everything is equal [A] under the sun.
[D] All that is [A] created by [Bm] the mind, yeah.
[E] And [D] he said, look and it shall [E] be open, [D] seek and ye shall [A] find, [D] wisdom is [Bm] found in the [A] simplest of [D] things, in the nick of [A] time.
[D] Knock and it shall be [A] open, [D] seek and ye shall [A] find,
[Bm] wisdom is found in the simplest of things, in the nick of [A] time.
[G] Now I've drawn [D] the same road of perfection,
[A] just like the black heart man, [C#m] just like [A] the black heart man.
[G] It's in my [D] share of humiliation,
[A] just like the black heart man, y [F#m]'all.
[A] The black heart man.
[G] You'll find me in [D] the prisons or the dungeons, [A] just like the black heart man, yeah, the black heart man.
[G] I even get slain [D] without reason,
[A] just like the black heart man, just like the black heart man, y [D]'all.
[F#m]
[A] [C#m] [A]
[D] [F#m]
[A] [C#m] [A] [C]
No [D] cross, no [E] crown, no [A] sorrow, no [F#m] laughter, [A] trial and parcel [D] in the ivory, [G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] but the [G] heart of the [E] battle is the [D] [A] sweetest, [Bm] cause of victory, ooh wee.
[A]
[D] Ancient [G] children [A] used to say, [D] if you want it you know you got [A] to run, [D] run, run.
How could [A] the world go through, [D] let a baby cross alone.
[A]
[D] Them that drink of [A] the old wine [D] have no [A] place [D] for the new, [G] [A]
[D] for the new.
[G] [A] And [D] the stones that are ahead of [G] the [A] corner are [D] the same ones [A]
that [D] were filled with the few.
[E]
[D] [E] Hear me when I say [D] now, it's the black [Em] heart man, [D] in the rain, who'll become [Em] the [A] wonder of the city.
