Capo 3
 
Matt Noldy
 
As a G man, I ain't never been much for sunny Em days
 
I'm as G calm as a fruit stand in New York and maybe as Em strange
 
When the C colors go out of my eyes, it's usually the D change.
 
But G damn, C Sam, I G love a C woman that G rains
 
G Clear as a bell, and C sound as an old engineer G
 
Clear as a bell, and C sound as an old engineer G
 
With D talented breezes that C blow off your hat with a G sneer.
 
G As a man, I ain't never been Em much for talkin' G to. Em
 
I'm as G open as a door in her Em house that leads to her G room Em
 
And when the C color goes out of my eyes she's usually D too
 
But G damn, C Sam, I G love a C woman that's G blue.
 
As a G man, I ain't never been Em much for sunny G days Em
 
I'm as G calm as a fruit stand in Em New York and maybe as G strange Em
 
When the C colors go out of my eyes, it's usually the D change.
 
But G damn, C Sam, I G love a C woman that G rains
