[A] [D]
[A]
[G]
[D] I was a [A] child, [Bm] born [A] at the top [D] [A] of the [Bm] tower.
I didn't [D] know [G] where to [D] turn.
[A] I'm a man, [Bm] I'm [A] [Bm] [A] old as a [Bm] man.
And [D] I sure know [G] where
[D] to turn.
[G]
[A] In the sky, [G] in my mind, as we [A] rose,
my body [G] [A] just let me down.
And I [C] wonder [D] something you can't see,
[C]
but it's still very [D] real to me.
[C] [E] If you find it in the [Gb] hole where I keep my soul,
lay it [Ab] down inside [A] me.
[B] Dream a man, [Bbm] [Abm] dream a man.
Forget about my body, [A] dream [B] a man.
[Bbm] [Abm]
[B] I [D] sing [A] with my heart, [Bm] I hear [A] with my heart,
[D] I [A] feel with my [Bm] heart.
I'm going to [D] [G] pretend.
So cool [A] breeze put me down.
And [G] that pity me could tie [A] in,
that emotions push me around.
[C] But the sun's [D] coming up, [C] it will shine when we are [D] gone.
[E] And I'd like [B] to have a little [Gb] sparkle while I'm here.
[Ab] [A] Dream [B] a man, [Bbm] dream [Abm]
a man.
Forget about that pity me, [A] dream [B]
a man.
Oh, [Bbm] oh, [Abm] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
How do you get?
[A] [E]
It's [A] only [E] made in money.
[B] Afraid of everything and they [Dbm] laugh at [B] nothing.
And they [E]
only [B] [E] live to [B] [A] [Abm] criticize.
[A] [G] You can [A] laugh at me [G] now.
I'll be glad.
I'm going to have to, [A] everybody.
You must decide.
[C] When the day [D] finally comes along,
you [C] might wish you did a [D] little more strong.
[Cm] [E] Then you'll wake up in the [Gb] morning crying, oh, I'm
laying [Ab] down inside.
[A]
[B] Dream a man.
Yes, I [Bbm] said, [Abm] dream a man.
Got to grow up some, girl.
You'll [B] be a man.
Everybody, [Bbm] dream a [Abm] man.
I'm signing for that I [A] know.
You'll be [B] a man.
Woo-hoo, [Bbm] you'll be a [B] man, yeah.
Don't try to stop all of [A] that.
You'll be a [B] man.
Now [Bbm] you'll be a [Abm] man, yeah.
Don't shake your cup, no, no, [A] no.
You'll [B] be a man.
You'll be a man.
[Bbm] You'll [B] be a man.
Real man, yeah.
