The Man

Hi there!  Here's Ed's latest release- "The Man"
I'll add the link when Ed puts it on YouTube.
Go buy it on itunes :) http://smarturl.it/x-itunesdlx


This song is the same progression throughout. One strum of strings
G & B (open) then Am, then one strum of strings D & G (open) then
F.  This repeats throughout the song. 


I labeled the open strumming as:

'oGB'= Strings G & B 
'oDG'= Strings D & G   
  

   oGB  Am    oDG  F
e|-----------------1--------|
B|--0---1----------1--------|
G|--0---2------0---2--------|
D|------2------0---3--------|
A|-----------------3--------|
E|--------------------------|


**NOTE**
Chord placing through rapping is nearly impossible!! I did it through the first verse 
but I really feel like it's more of a distraction.  It's easier to just play that simple
progression/rhythm without trying to follow chord placement.  It really is easy!



STANDARD TUNING w/
CAPO ON 2


Intro- oGB Am oDG F x2



oGB                 Am
Now I don't want to hate you
                                      oDG
Just wish you'd never gone for the man
    F
And waited two weeks at least
           oGB
Before you let him take you
  Am
I stayed true
                                  oDG
I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school
     F
He's waiting for the time to move
              oGB
I knew he had his eyes on you
     Am
He's not the right guy for you
                  oDG
Don't hate me cos I write the truth
   F
No I would never lie to you
                 oGB
But it was never fine to lose you
    Am
And what a way to find out
   oDG                F
It never came from my mouth
You never changed your mind
                   oGB              Am
But you were just afraid to find out
                                          oDG        
But f- it, I won't be changing the subject I love it
F                                       oGB
I'll make your little secret public its nothing
         Am
I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with 
oDG                   F
In your closet to get back at me
Trapped and I'm lacking sleep
oGB            Am                            oDG
Fact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually
F                           
You're practically my family
                        oGB                 Am
If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be
                                           oDG
But tragically our love just lost the will to live
F
But would I kill to give it one more shot
           oGB
I think not




        Am
I don't love you baby
oDG     F 
I don't need you baby
oGB     Am
I don't want you no
oDG  F
Any-more


oGB     Am
I don't love you baby
oDG     F 
I don't need you baby
oGB             Am
I don't want to love you no
oDG F
Any-more


 
*continue pattern*
 oGB Am oDG F....

Recently I tend to zone out
Up in my headphones to Holocene
You promised your body but I'm away so much
I stay more celibate than in a monastery
I'm not cut out for life on the road
Cos I didn't know I'd miss you this much
And at the time we'd just go, so sue me
I guess I'm not the man that you need
Ever since you went to uni
I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack
Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad
But when I broke the industry
That's when I broke your heart
I was supposed to chart and celebrate
But good things are over fast
I know it's hard to deal with and see this
I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features
Then I turn the music off
And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus
I never really want to believe this
Got advice from my dad and he
Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need
I guess I'm unaware of it
Success is nothing if you have no one left to share it with



oGB     Am
I don't love you baby
oDG     F 
I don't need you baby
oGB     Am
I don't want you no
oDG  F
Any-more


oGB     Am
I don't love you baby
oDG     F 
I don't need you baby
oGB             Am
I don't want to love you no
oDG F
Any-more



*continue pattern*
 oGB Am oDG F....

And since you left
I've given up my days off
It's what I need to stay strong
I know you have a day job
But mine is 24/7
I fell like writing a book
I guess I lied in the hook
Cos I still love you and I need you by my side if I could
The irony is if my career and music didn't exist
In 6 years yeah you'd probably be my wife with a kid
I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink
And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and its
Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill
And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27
I'll die from a thrill
Go down in history as just a wasted talent
Can I face the challenge
Or did I make a mistake erasing
It's only therapy
My thoughts just get ahead of me
Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be
Either way I guess I'm not prepared
But I'll say this
These things happen for a reason and you can't change
Take my apology
I'm sorry for the honesty
But I had to get this off my chest



oGB     Am
I don't love you baby
oDG     F 
I don't need you baby
oGB     Am
I don't want you no
oDG  F
Any-more


oGB     Am
I don't love you baby
oDG     F 
I don't need you baby
oGB             Am
I don't want to love you no
oDG F
Any-more


 
oGB Am oDG F.... repeats and fades out



Have fun!
Christy
