The Man Behind This Man by John Martinez
The Man Behind This Man
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
G
woke up early every Saturday
C
To get things done in his own way
Em D
Pulled me out of bed just to go to work
G
And he’d cut the hair and take the guff
C
And show that he was strong enough
Em D
to earn a couple bucks to make things work.
[Chorus]
G
He’s the man behind this man
C
He’s the one who’s tough enough
Em D
He’s the reason I can do all that I can.
G
He pushed me harder every day
C
To try to teach me in his own way
Em D
It’s the hard work and respect that really
G
makes a man

Early Sunday mornings' working time
Mow the lawn and tow the line
Sunday morning ain’t no time for fun
He’d tune the car and change the oil
Paint a wall and mulch the soil
Doing everything right in the sun.
[Chorus]
G
He’s the man behind this man
C
He’s the one who’s tough enough
Em D
He’s the reason I can do all that I can.
G
He pushed me harder every day
C
To try to teach me in his own way
Em D
It’s the hard work and respect that really
G
makes a man
C G
When I’ve given them every thing I think I can.
C G
I see the man behind this man

Weekdays after cutting hair
He could be most anywhere
Painting, running wire - most anything.
Anything to make a buck
He’d be home late when he got stuck
Worked three jobs to give us everything
[Chorus]
G
He’s the man behind this man
C
He’s the one who’s tough enough
Em D
He’s the reason I can do all that I can.
G
He pushed me harder every day
C
To try to teach me in his own way
Em D
It’s the hard work and respect that really
G
makes a man
C G
When I’ve given them every thing I think I can.
C G
I see the man behind this man
