Man of the World

Fleetwood Mac
Tab
4.8(85)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse

Yes I've got all the things I need

I couldn't ask for more

And there's no one I'd rather be

I just wish that I'd never been born

Instrumental

D A6 Gm D

D A6 Gm D

Bridge

F#m

And I need a good woman

Em

To make me feel like a good man should

F#m

I don't say that I'm a good man

Em A6

Oh but I would be if I could

Verse

I could tell you about my life

And keep you amused I'm sure

About all the times I've cried

And how I don't want to be sad anymore

And how I wish I was in love
