Man On The Corner chords by Genesis (Ver. 2)

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard tuning

Difficulty: novice


              VERSION 1
NOTE: This version has a simpler chord to use then the Fm7 and
   also the Dbadd9/F that was suggested in the comment section.
   I changed it to an Eb5/Bb which is much easier to play.
