Chords for Joshua Ledet - "It's a Man's Man's Man's World"

This is a man's _ _ _ [Bbm] world.
The song I wish I'd written is It's a [Ebm] Man's World
by James [Bbm] Brown.
This song [Abm] has a strong meaning.
My mama, she's like the backbone of the [Bb] family.
I know that without my mom, my dad wouldn't
be [Ebm] the man that he is today.
I [Bb] was very fortunate to have seen James Brown record
[Ebm] in the studio a few times.
[Bbm] And that was a powerful, powerful [Ebm] image. _
Save your voice.
You sing the heck out of that song.
When I was 19 years old, they called me in to do
a session with James Brown.
And in between every take, he did a vocal,
he'd sing like that, come [Bbm] in the studio,
and some guy [Abm] would come and comb his hair.
I said, wow, is this [Bb] what being famous is?
It just looks so incredible to me.
Jimmy crazy, man.
He is hilarious.
He says the most random things.
[Bbm] If you think of anything, just give me a [Eb] call.
Yeah.
All right?
All right, man.
[Bb] See you later.
Why are you laughing, girl?
Because I ain't got your [Bbm] phone number. _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] Joshua standing in front of me singing the James Brown [Bbm] song,
it just was incredible.
[Abm] I'd love to hear him sing anything,
but this [Bb] James Brown song, he really kills.

[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ This is a [Ebm] man.
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [F] _
[Abm] _ But it wouldn't be [Eb] nothing. _ _

_ _ _ _ [Ebm] Without a woman or a _ [Bbm] girl.
_ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ [Bbm] Man made the cars [Ebm] _
_ to [Bbm] take us over the road.
_ [Ebm] _
_ _ [Bbm] Man made the train [Ebm] to _ _ [Bbm] carry the heavy load.
_ [Ebm] _
_ _ [Bbm] Man made the electric [Ebm] light to take us out [Bbm] of the dark.
_ _ [Ebm] _
_ Man [Bbm] made the boat by the water.
[Eb] _
_ Like Noah [Bbm] made the ark.
This is [Abm] a man.
Man.
_ Man [Bb] made the car.
But it [Abm] wouldn't _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ be no [Ebm] girl.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ And [Bbm] the day [Ebm] that God _ makes _ [Bbm] them happy.
[Ebm] _ _
Cause [Bbm] man makes them toys.
This [Abm] is a man.
_ Man. Man.
_ [Bb] _
But it wouldn't be [E] nothing.
_ _ [Ebm] Without a woman or [Bbm] a girl.
No, you see, [Ebm] a man without a woman, she [Bbm] don't know.
She don't know.
[Ebm] _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ebm] Well, the name.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ She's a [Ebm] _
lost _ [Bbm] and bitter [Ebm] name.
_ _ [Bbm] _ This is a [Abm] _
man.
Man.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ This is a [Ebm] man. _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ [Bbm] Man.
This is a [Ebm] man.
_ _ [Bb] _ Man. Man.
Man. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Whoo. Whoa.
_ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Whoa.
Joshua Letter. _ _
Joshua Letter.
_ _ Joshua Letter.
_ Neither man nor woman has ever sang that good with that much compassion on this show ever. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Right, right, exactly.
I've never heard anything like that in my life.
My life. Oh. _ _ _ _
_ _ I think people at home maybe thought like I did.
That they had seen everything you have to give.
And how you can interpret a song.
_ We hadn't.
_ We hadn't.
We _ _ had Spanish, pasión, corazon, everything.
Because you're making me speak different languages now.
[Ab] It's crazy.
_ _ _ That was sickening.
Yo man, you delivered us and America tonight.
Everybody saw this, got something tonight from this.
And to me, we sit here, we judge, we know everything that's going on, we watch the show.
This is the time when people sing for you, you should forget about everything but what they're doing.
That's what you do every time you get up.
I think it's the greatest song for you.
I think it's one of the best performances in the history of any singing show, [N] including ours.
_ _ Any show.
_ Yo, I feel like a broken record now.
I've said it a bunch of times this season.
If you want to know what singing is really about, and emotion and connecting to a lyric,
and just singing the I don't know what out of something,
_ please watch Joshua Ledet and he's sending everyone to school, man.
_ _ [Gb] _
Incredible.
_ _ You guys couldn't wait to stand up.
They were like pushing their chairs back there in that saw ready to pop up in the middle of it.
I had never known what it meant when somebody said [Gb] like take you to church.
I know what it meant, but I actually, I was like, whoa.
Dude, we got religion.
That never happened to me.
We caught feelings, we were catching feelings, baby.
You found religion there.
I did.
I saw the Lord.
Mom, what did you think?
Give us a little nod.
Yeah.
There you go.
Yo, man. _ _ _ _
_ Where did that transformation come from?
I
