[E] [D#] [E] [F#m] [E]
[A]
[F#m]
[A] [B]
[E] Some people lack and other [F#m] people [G#m] [A] be broke.
[G#m] They [F#m] don't have food to [G#m] eat.
[C#m] Some people
[D]
find [G]
it funny.
[A]
Because others don't have no shoes on their [B]
feet.
Things [E] may be good [D#] for [E] you [F#m] [E] today [G#m] but
[A] tomorrow
Things [C#m]
[F#m] could be so rough.
[G#] [A] That's why [A#] I say [B] the only time [F#m] that you
Should look down [Bm] on a man
[F#m] Is when you're thinking [E] him up.
[F#m]
Some [B] people [E] lack
and other [F#] [E] people [G#m]
be [A]
cold.
[G#m] The [F#m] home that they live is so [G#] small.
[C#m]
Some people find [D]
it [G]
funny.
[A]
Because some don't have no home [F#m] at [B] [E]
all.
Things may [B] [E] be good for
[D#m] [E] you [F#m] [E] today [G#m] but
[A] tomorrow
[G#m]
Things [F#m] could be so rough.
[G#] [A] That's why [A#] I say [B] the only time that [F#m] you
Should look down on a man
Is when you're thinking [E] him up.
[A]
[E]
[A] You may be up today
And [B] again you may be down tomorrow.
[E]
One day your life may be filled with happiness
And [A] the next day with [B] so much [E] sorrow.
[A]
You should go to the mirror
[B] And take a good look at yourself
[G#] And then you will see that
[C#m] You are no [A] better than [Bm] nobody else.
[E]
[A] So you should look down on a man
Because everybody's somebody now
But you're still somebody's last sight of God.
Oh [E]
no, [Bm] no, no
[E] [A]
Because you don't have what you have
You're still somebody's last sight of God.
Oh yeah
[E] Oh [Bm] yeah
[E] Maybe [A]
you shouldn't look down on a man
You may not have sufficient food like you have
You may not have a [E] job or a career like you have
But God says at least you do a [A] drag in my sight.
That's why I've never looked down on a man
Because in the eyes of God there is no big guy
No, [E] no, no, no
[A]
See me be afflicted, blind, crippled, or lame
[E]
