Am                 C     G    F
The man of the moment is just way ahead of his time,
Am                     C     G        F
could be why you see just distance in his eyes
Riff 1               F     C
he could be watching ashes grow,
Riff 1               F     C          G
where all your best seeds were just now sown
Dsus2                Am               F         Am
but for all I know there's far more I don't

Am                         C       G         F
New rays of light must fight for a place between the leaves
Am                         C         G        F
so son don't seem surprised to find no shade beneath this tree
Riff 1            F         C
just like Abe you can't think twice
Riff 1            F         C      G
when offered your piece of the franchise
Dsus2            Am        F
now every kid expects a birthright

F                             G
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
Am                            G
now it's your turn, it's your turn to deliver
F                             G
hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
Dsus2                 Am          F
what's the measure of a man, made to measure


Am                                 C        G       F
It's some privilege to claim that only the strong survive - 
Am                                C         G       F
if you can choose the time and place and what you'll sacrifice
Riff 1             F              C
we'll all get our piece of the dream
Riff 1             F              C                     G
and the have-nots will have to take another hit for the team
Dsus2                Am
well that's just how it's always been

Am                                                    C         G
It went something like - garden, tree, Adam and Eve, and Father, pray, 
F
forgive.
Am                                       C         G        F
But if I never hear that shit again I'll live and live and live
Riff 1                    F          C
and whatever made the world go round before
Riff 1                     F          C               G
is probably what will keep it going round after they're gone
Dsus2               Am                F
but for all I know there's much more I don't

F                           G
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
Am                          G
now it's your turn, it's your turn to deliver
F                          G
hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
Dsus2                      Am
what's the measure of a man, made to measure
F
made to measure 

OUTRO:
Am   C G F
