[Chorus #2] Dm Dm E E - (Am Em x2)

This is a (man's man's man's) world

But it would be (nothing, nothing)

Without a woman or a girl


Man thinks about a little bit of baby girl

And a-baby boy - Man make them happy

           'Cause man makes them toys

And after man make (everything x2) he can

You know that man makes money

To buy from other man          [Chorus #2]

(He's lost, (…/…/lost and)  (nothing (x2),

 (In the wilderness/         not one

  And bitterness/…) x3)      little thing)
