Man Down chords by Rihanna

Intro: Em

       Am
I didn't mean to end his life

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

Cant get it off my mind
      Am
I need to get out of sight
                     Em
Before I end up behind bars

            Am
What started out as a simple altercation
        Em
Turned into a real sticky situation
        F
Me just thinking on the time that im facing
                 G
Makes me wanna cry

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

Reff :

Em
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum

Man Down

Em
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum

Man Down

Am
Oh mama mama mama
     Em

         F
In central station
            G
In front of a big ol crowd
Em
Oh Why Oh Why

   Am
Oh mama mama mama
      Em
I just shot a man down
         Am
In central station


It's a 22

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

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

I will lose my cool
             G
And reach for my fire arm
               Am
I didn't mean to lay him down
                Em
But its too late to turn back now
      F
don't know what I was thinking

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

                    Em
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
                        Am
Coulda been somebodies son
             Em
And I took his heart when
Am
I pulled out that gun
