Real Men
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Em D G D/F# Em7 D D/C
C C D D N.C. C C D D C C D D
[Verse 1]
Em D G
Take your mind back, I don't know when.
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
Sometimes when it always seemed to be just us and them.
Em D G
Girls that wore pink, boys that wore blue.
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
Boys that always grew up better men than me and you.
[Bridge]
C C D D N.C. C C D D C C D D
[Verse 2]
Em D G
What's a men now, what's a man mean.
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
Is he rough or is he rugged is he cultural and clean.
Em D G
Now it's all changed, it's got to change more,
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
'cause we think it's getting better but nobody's really sure.
[Chorus]
C C D D C C D D
And so it goes, go round again,
C C D D C C D D G A B
but now and then we wonder who the real men are.
F#/B B B B F#/B B B E/A A A E/A A A
O hooooooo Ohoo o hohohoho
F#/B B B B F#/B B B E/A A A E/A A A
O hooooooo Ohoo o hohohoho
G Bm
Aha hahaha aahaa
C C D D N.C. C C D D C C D D
[Verse 3]
Em D G
See the nice boys, dancing in pairs.
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
Golden earring, golden tan, blow-wave in the hair.
Em D G
Sure they're all straight, straight as a line,
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
all the gays are macho, can't you see their leather shine.
[Bridge]
C C D D N.C. C C D D C C D D
[Verse 4]
Em D G
You don't want to sound dumb, don't want to offend.
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
So don't call me a faggot, not unless you are a friend.
Em D G
Then if you're tall, and handsome and strong,
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
you can wear the uniform and I could play along.
[Chorus]
C C D D C C D D
And so it goes, go round again,
C C D D C C D D G A B
but now and then we wonder who the real men are.
F#/B B B B F#/B B B E/A A A E/A A A
O hooooooo Ohoo o hohohoho

O hooooooo Ohoo o hohohoho
G Bm
Aha hahaha aahaa
C C D D N.C. C C D D C C D D
[Verse 5]
Em D G
Time to get scared, time to change plan.
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
Don't know how to treat a lady, don't know how to be a man.
Em D G
Time to admit, what you call defeat
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
'cause there's women running past you now, and you just drag your feet.
[Bridge]
C C D D N.C. C C D D C C D D
[Verse 6]
Em D G
Man makes a gun, man goes to war,
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
Man can kill, man can drink and man can take a whore.
Em D G
Kill all the blacks, kill all the reds,
D/F# Em7 D D/C C
if there's war between the sexes then there'll be no people left.
[Chorus]
C C D D C C D D
And so it goes, go round again,
C C D D C C D D G A B
but now and then we wonder who the real men are.
F#/B B B B F#/B B B E/A A A E/A A A
O hooooooo Ohoo o hohohoho
F#/B B B B F#/B B B E/A A A E/A A A
