Man Down chords by Rihanna

Chords with lyrics

Intro: E minorEm

       A minorAm
I didn't mean to end his life

I know it wasn't right
      E minorEm
I cant even sleep at night

Cant get it off my mind
      A minorAm
I need to get out of sight
                     E minorEm
Before I end up behind bars

            A minorAm
What started out as a simple altercation
        E minorEm
Turned into a real sticky situation
        FF
Me just thinking on the time that im facing
                 G+G
Makes me wanna cry

Bridging: A minorAm
                     E minorEm
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
                        A minorAm
Coulda been somebodies son
             E minorEm
And I took his heart when
A minorAm
I pulled out that gun

Reff :

E minorEm
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum

Man Down

E minorEm
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum

Man Down

A minorAm
Oh mama mama mama
     E minorEm

         FF
In central station
            G+G
In front of a big ol crowd
E minorEm
Oh Why Oh Why

   A minorAm
Oh mama mama mama
      E minorEm
I just shot a man down
         A minorAm
In central station

It's a 22

I Call her peggy sue
             E minorEm
When she fits right down in my shoes

What do you expect me to do
        A minorAm
If you're playing me for a fool

I will lose my cool
             G+G
And reach for my fire arm
               A minorAm
I didn't mean to lay him down
                E minorEm
But its too late to turn back now
      FF
don't know what I was thinking

Now hes no longer living
   G+G
So imma bout to leave town

                    E minorEm
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
                        A minorAm
Coulda been somebodies son
             E minorEm
And I took his heart when
A minorAm
I pulled out that gun
