Verse 1:
A
When you wake up in the mornin'
                                      E
And you can't remember much about the night before
         A
Then the lady who's beside you gets up
                                 E
She goes right out and locks the bathroom door
          D
And your head won't stop singin'
D

The phone won't stop ringin'
     F
Your plane is gonna leave at 12.15
       A
It was close to 6 o'clock
           E                    A
Before you got to know a little dream

Chorus:
A           E
Look at the Bangin' Man
E
He says he can
D          A
Time after time
          E
He'll get down, down, down
                A
To bangin' back home
               E
Oh look at the Bangin' Man
E
He says he can
D          A
Time after time
          E
He'll get down, down, down
                A
To bangin' back home

Interlude:
A   D A   D A

Verse 2:
A
I been in fifty diff'rent towns
A
In fifty diff'rent days
             E
They all got different names
          A
I been in fifty limousines
A
In fifty hotel rooms
         E
They all look the same
          D
And your head won't stop crackin'
D
Your case needs unpackin'
    F
The only sound is from the TV screen
A
Until a knock comes on the door
             E                        A
And standing there's another little dream

Chorus:
A           E
Look at the Bangin' Man
E
He says he can
D          A
Time after time
          E
He'll get down, down, down
                A
To bangin' back home
               E
Oh look at the Bangin' Man
E
He says he can
D          A
Time after time
          E
He'll get down, down, down
                A
To bangin' back home

Interlude:

Verse 3:
A
Oh when you wake up in the mornin'
                                      E
And you can't remember much about the night before
        A
A small reminder of the state you were in
                              E
Are all the tattered clothes across the floor
         D
And your head still keeps singin'
D
The phone still keeps ringin'
F
Remember just exactly where you've been
                A
'Cos there ain't no doubt about it
           E
There's no better things to see
                 A
Then what you've seen

Chorus:
A               E
Oh, look at the Bangin' Man
E
He says he can
D          A
Time after time
          E
He'll get down, down, down
                A
To bangin' back home
                E
Oh, look at the Bangin' Man
E
He says he can
D          A
Time after time
          E
He'll get down,get down, get down
                A
To bangin' back home
            E
Look at the Bangin' Man
E
He says he can
D          A
Time after time
          E
He'll get down, down, down, down, down
                A
To bangin' back home
