Measure of a Man Clay Aiken
The Measure Of A Man by ELTON JOHN
Standard Tuning
Key: C
INTRO
He plays E and G notes, but you can stay in C as well
[C]These battered hand are all you own
[Am]This broken heart has turned to stone
[F]Go hang your glory on the [C]wall
[Am]There comes a time when castles [Em]fall
[F]And all [Em]that's l[Dm]eft is s[C]hifting in the s[G]and
[C]You're out of time, you're out of p[Dm]lace
Look at your f[Em]ace
That's the [F]measure of a [G]man[C]
[C]This coat that fits you like a glove
[Am]These dirty streets you learned to love
[F]So welcome back my long lost [C]friend
[Am]You've been to hell and back [Em]again
[F]God alon[Em]e knows [Dm]how you [C]crossed that [G]span
[C]Back on the beat, back to the [Dm]start
Trust in your [Em]heart
That's the [F]measure of a [G]man[C]
[C]It's the fire in the eye[Dm]s, the lines on the [Em]hand
It's the [F]things you unde[G]rstand[C]
[Am]Permanent ties from which you on[Em]ce ran
That's the [F]measure of a [G]man[D#] [Cm]
[D#]You've come full circle, now you're home
[Cm]Without the gold, without the chrome
[G#]And this is where you've always [D#]been
You had to l[Cm]ose so you could [G#]win
[G#]And rise[Gm] above y[Fm]our trou[D#]bles while you c[A#]an
Now you can [D#]love, now you can lo[Cm]se
Now you can [Gm]choose
That's the [G#]measure of a [A#]man[D#]
[D#]It's the fire in the eye[Fm]s, the lines on [Gm]the hand
It's the [G#]things you unde[A#]rstand[D#]
...
REPEAT THE SAME SEQUENCE, REMEMBER THAT IN THIS SECOND PART THE KEY LIFTS TO D#
The permanent ties from which you once ran
That's the measure of a man
You've come full cirlce, now you're home
Without the gold, without the chrome
And this is where you've always been
You had to lose so you could win
And rise above your troubles while you can
Now you can love, now you can lose
Now you can choose
That's the measure of a man
