REAL MEN - Joe Jackson

E minorEm  D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC  D MajorD  C majorC  D MajorD  C majorC  D MajorD

E minorEm          D MajorD      G+G
Take your mind back, I don't know when.
D MajorD         E minorEm        D MajorD       C majorC
Sometimes when it always seemed to be just us and them.
E minorEm          D MajorD       G+G
Girls that wore pink, boys that wore blue.
D MajorD        E minorEm       D MajorD        C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
Boys that always grew up better men than me and you.
E minorEm        D MajorD      G+G
What's a man now, what's a man mean.
   D MajorD       E minorEm      D MajorD      C majorC
Is he rough or is he rugged, is he cultural and clean.
E minorEm             D MajorD       G+G
Now it's all changed, it's got to change more,
     D MajorD         E minorEm      D MajorD       C majorC
cause we think it's getting better but no-body's really sure.

CHORUS
  C majorC   D MajorD    C majorC    D MajorD
And so it goes, go round a-gain,
  C majorC    D MajorD    C majorC   D MajorD    G+G  A augmentedA  BB
but now and then we wonder who the real men are.

E minorEm         D MajorD     G+G
See the nice boys, dancing in pairs.
D MajorD        E minorEm     D MajorD        C majorC
Golden earring, golden tan, blow wave in the hair.
E minorEm             D MajorD       G+G
Sure they're all straight, straight as a line.
D MajorD        E minorEm        D MajorD         C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
All the gays are macho, can't you see their leather shine.
     E minorEm            D MajorD     G+G
You don't want to sound dumb. Don't want to of-fend,
  D MajorD        E minorEm       D MajorD       C majorC
so don't call me a faggot, not un-less you are a friend.
E minorEm           D MajorD      G+G
Then if you're tall and handsome and strong,
D MajorD        E minorEm     D MajorD       C majorC
you can wear the uniform and I could play a-long.

CHORUS

E minorEm         D MajorD       G+G
Time to get scared, time to change plan.
      D MajorD       E minorEm        D MajorD      C majorC
Don't know how to treat a lady, don't know how to be a man.
E minorEm         D MajorD      G+G
Time to admit what you call de-feat,
       D MajorD       E minorEm        D MajorD         C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
cause there's women running past you now and you just drag your feet.
E minorEm        D MajorD      G+G
Man makes a gun, man goes to war.
D MajorD       E minorEm        D MajorD       C majorC
Man can kill, man can drink and man can take a whore.
E minorEm          D MajorD      G+G
Kill all the Blacks, kill all the Reds.
      D MajorD        E minorEm         D MajorD      C majorC
If there's war between the sexes then there'll be no people left.
