Can you judge a man,
       E                     E  E
By the way he wears his hair?
F                     G  G
Can you read his mind,
       E                     E  E
By the clothes that he wears?
D             E
Can you see a bad man,
       F              G
By the pattern on his tie?
 
           A                            G
Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I,

Could you tell a wise man,
       E                       E  E
By the way he speaks or spells?
F                     G  G
Is this more important,
         E                     E  E
Than the stories that he tells?
    D            E
And call a man a fool,
       F                 G
If for wealth he doesn't strive?
 
           A                            G
Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I,
      A                            G
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I,

If you're faith he doesn't hold?

Say the color of his skin,

Is the color of his soul?

Could you say that men,

For king and country all must die?

There is a third verse that is missing in this version and the others. The song was shortened for airplay when it was released. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI00o59RXeQ "Do you think that often, the majority is right? That men with individuality should never fight. Can you hate a man that shouts a freedom cry.'
