[Intro]
Dm7 F Bb
[Verse]
Dm7There's a noise upstairs in the atFtic,
IDm7t's the shuffle of worn out shoBbes.
Dm7And the scent of the oil and bruFshes,
Dm7Drifts down like a pale peBbrfume.
[Chorus]
And he says, Cm"I...
I am a Abman
A Simple mGman,
.. A man of cEboloEbadd9urs.
And I can sCmee
See through the yAbears
Years of a Gm7man,
.. A man of coloEburs"
[Verse]
ADm7nd the old man rubs his faFiling eyes,
TDm7akes a moment to watch the viBbew.
FrDm7om a window nobody kFnows he's there,
HDm7e can see the empty street beBblow.
[Chorus]
And he says, "CmI...
I am a mAban
A Simple mGman,
.. A man of colEbourEbadd9s.
And I can sCmee
See through the yeaAbrs
Years of a mGman,
.. A man of colEboursF7"

[Chorus]
And he says, "CmI...
