[Intro]
A7    D    A7    D  A7
 
[Verse]
         D
He got a crim-son red tat-too  
                        G
keeps it hid-den just a-bove his t-shirt sleeve,
                                D
It's a brok-en heart and the in-scrip-tion reads
                      A
'No love songs if you please',
D
But he don't real-ly mean that,  
                              G
yes it's on-ly cheek-y tongue,
                           D
He stands up and sings one ev'-ry night,  
         A7                 D           A
he's the man of a thou-sand songs.
 
[Verse]
             D
He knows the street like he knows his last name  
        G
and the cit-y from the wrong side out,  
                                     D
He knows that time is cruel and an-y man's a fool   
                                   A
who hides the truth be-hind  his mouth;  
             D
He knows The Duke of Earl, he knows  My Girl,  
                                   G
and The House of the Ris - ing Sun,
                         D
The o-pen-in line on his mar-quee sign  
           A                  D           D
reads 'The man of a thou-sand songs'.
 
[Bridge]
            A
He knows an old  ho-tel   where the desk clerk will sell you 
     G                      D
your soul back reas-'nab-ly cheap.
        A
or this guy you can call when you're crawl-in' the wall  
          Bm7     E          Em7       A7
and  the  whole / town's / a-sleep.
 
[Verse]
         D
He don't prom-ise what he don't de-liv-er  
            G
he keeps it all in the eas-y keys.   
                                  D
He don't dream be-yond his ex-pec-tat-ions  
                                 A
but he got the stance down to a 'T';
         D
He got a friend in the back - stage alley  
                                             G
got just the thing to make the night  move a-long.
                                    D
He's tak-in' all re-quests  as you  might have guessed, 
         A7                    D          D
he's the man   of a thou-sand  songs.
 
[Bridge]

          Bm7     E          Em7       A7

he keeps it all in the eas-y keys.   
                                  D
He don't dream be-yond his ex-pec-tat-ions  
                                 A
but he got the stance down to a 'T';
         D

                                    D

         A          A7/Bb       Bm
he's the man   of a thou-sand  songs.
 
[TAG]
G                    D            A7         D
  Oh, Woah, he's the man  of  a   thou-sand  songs.
