One Man Band      by Leo Sayer


Verse 1:

C
Ev'rybody knows down Ladbroke Grove
            Dm              F
You have to leap across the street
        G                      Em
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
          F                 C
You gotta have eyes in your feet
C
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Dm                      F
Take up your guitar and play
         G                     Em
Then the law man comes and say move along
       F              C
So you move along all day.

Chorus:

C
I'm a one man band
F      Am7      F
Nobody Knows or understands.
         Am7                            F
Is there anybody out there who wants to lend a hand
              C
To my one man band?

Verse 2:

C
For three days now I haven't eaten at all
    F 
My, my I must be getting so thin
G
Soon my cap won't be large enough
   F                   C
To drop a half a crown in.
C
So hey there Mister, don't you look so sad
      F
Don't look so ill at ease
G
I can play you any song you like
   F                     C
To cheer up the life you lead.

Chorus:

C
I'm a one man band
F      Am7      F
Nobody knows or understands.
         Am7                            F
Is there anybody out there who wants to lend a hand
              C
To my one man band?

Bridge:

F  Am7  Bb              F
Oh, oh, oh look at that rain falling
F  Am7  Bb            G
Oh, oh, oh look at it rain.

Verse 3:

C
And nobody hears the minstrel boy
      Dm                F
As he sings his tale of woe
G               Em
Nobody sees him coming
    F               C
And nobody sees him go.
   C 
So hey there Mister don't you look so sad
      Dm             F
Don't look so ill at ease
G                  Em
I can play you any song you like
   F                     C
To cheer up the life you lead.

Chorus:

C
I'm a one man band
F      Am7      F
Nobody knows or understands.
         Am7                            F
Is there anybody out there who wants to lend a hand
              C
To my one man band?
C
I'm a one man band
F      Am7      F
Nobody knows or understands.
         Am7                            F
Is there anybody out there who wants to lend a hand
