One Man Band
Leo Sayer
C Well everybody knows down Am ladbrook grove
You have to Dm leap across the F street
You can G lose your life under a Em taxi cab
You gotta F have eyes in your C feet
C You find a nice soft corner and you Am sit right down
Take Dm up your guitar and F play
But then the G law man comes says move al Em ong
So you F move along all C day
(Personally I would put the last part of the second verse here too, it's very effective)
(NC) C
Well Im a one man band
Am Nobody knows nor Dm understands
Is there G anybody out there wanna F lend me a hand
With my one man C band
(same first verse chords)
For three days now I havent eaten at all
My my you must be getting so thin
And soon my cap wont be large enough
To drop a half a crown in
So hey there mister dont you look so sad
Dont look so ill at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well Im a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
F F* Dm F
And oh oh oh look at the rain falling
F F* Dm G
Oh oh oh look at it rain
Oh look at it C rain
Well nobody sees the minstrel boy as he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him coming
Nobody see him go
So hey there mister dont you look so sad
Dont look so ill at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well Im a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
Well Im a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
Oh Im a one man band
Just a one man band
Oh Im a one man band
It can also easily be played in G, but this is Leo's key.
If you choose G the drop at the Rain bit is a simple run down to Am.
But C has more feeling and character.
