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

He'll get down, down, down
        A
To bangin' back home

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

To bangin' back home

Oh look at the Bangin' Man

He says he can
D     A
Time after time
     E
He'll get down, down, down
        A
To bangin' back home

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

Time after time

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
