Real Man by Martin Sexton from the Wonder Bar CD Chords D: xx0232 C: x32010 F: xx3211 Am: x02210 G: 320033 A: x02220 D Am In a workin' man's dream I found my simple truth C G There in the dark and on top of my roof D Am As the city's blue sound swept up from down under C G Heat lightning flashed and it got me to wonder D Am Are the troubles that life has seen fit to give me C G There to regret or there to remind me D Gm I'm a real D Gm I'm a real man D Am For so many years I believed I was broken C G The medicine sweet and the leaves I was smokin' D Am Told me I was strong righteous and firm C G But only if I comply and stay in the terms D Am With the deal made between weakness and shame C G To shelter me from the price of my pain Chorus F C D And I'll do everything a man possible can to make a difference F C A I'll save my soul if you give me the chance C D Am G I'll rectify my dreams if you let me see my way clear Repeat 4x D Am As I thank my higher power for all that she'd done C G I sing to the water towers and to the rising sun D Am For every woman or car crash that ever broke me in two C G For showing me that there's alwasy a way through Chorus
