Man Of The Moment

CAPO 1

NB: F chord is played 13321x, though a normal F chord works too

Riff 1

INTRO:

The man of the moment is just way ahead of his time,

could be why you see just distance in his eyes

Riff 1 F C

he could be watching ashes grow,

Riff 1 F C G

where all your best seeds were just now sown

but for all I know there's far more I don't

New rays of light must fight for a place between the leaves

so son don't seem surprised to find no shade beneath this tree

Riff 1 F C

just like Abe you can't think twice

Riff 1 F C G

when offered your piece of the franchise

now every kid expects a birthright

Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,

now it's your turn, it's your turn to deliver

hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,

what's the measure of a man, made to measure

It's some privilege to claim that only the strong survive -

if you can choose the time and place and what you'll sacrifice

Riff 1 F C

we'll all get our piece of the dream

Riff 1 F C G

and the have-nots will have to take another hit for the team

well that's just how it's always been

It went something like - garden, tree, Adam and Eve, and Father, pray,

forgive.

But if I never hear that shit again I'll live and live and live

Riff 1 F C

and whatever made the world go round before

Riff 1 F C G

is probably what will keep it going round after they're gone

but for all I know there's much more I don't

Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,

now it's your turn, it's your turn to deliver

hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,

what's the measure of a man, made to measure

made to measure

OUTRO:

repeat a few times then finish on Am
