I got at least 5 requests for this song in my guestbook. I actually
think it was the same guy over and over again because I'd never
heard of this song and then suddenly I got 5 requests. But I
decided to tab it, it's easy, just 4 chords, the only trick is to
get the right rhythm, it's kinda strange. Enjoy!!
The song is mostly just bass, you don't hear the guitar much. But I've
come up with a rhythm you can use so you incorporate parts of the
bass line. I play the chords like this:
E|---------0-0----0---0---------0-0----0---0--|
B|--------0--0----0---0--------0--0----0---0--|
G|-------1--------------------1---------------|
D|------2--------------------2----------------|
A|-----2--------2---2-------2--------2---2----|
E|--0--------------------0--------------------|
d * u d u d u d * u d u d u
d = downstroke
u = upstroke
* = this means strum the chord down kinda slowly so you can hear
each and every string ring out, kinda like spanish guitar.
I play the A chord the same, like this:
E|--------0-0---0---0--------0-0---0---0--|
B|-------2--2---2---2-------2--2---2---2--|
G|------2------------------2--------------|
D|-----2------2---2-------2------2---2----|
A|--0------------------0------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
d * u d u d u d * u d u d u
Of course you don't HAVE to play them like this, it's just a
suggestion, I think it sounds good. You just have to get the
right rhythm. Anyway, enough of my bullshit, here's the song:

VERSE 1:
--------
E
I'm the 7 foot man
I've commited no crime
A
Bumping my head into doorways
E
It happens all the time
A E
I'm 7 foot tall and I repeat
A E
They don't make a ski boot that can fit my feet
B A [stop] E
I'm 7 feet tall and I don't play basketball
VERSE 2:
--------
E
I'm 7 feet tall, but I'm still just a man
A
So of course it hurts me a lot
E
When I walk into the ceiling fan
A E
Small people say "I wish I was him"
A E
But it's been nine years since I had a trim
B A [stop] E
The barber said "I can't reach the top of his head"
BRIDGE:
-------
C#m E
7 foot man, I cannot hide
C#m E
7 foot man, I know 'cause I've tried
C#m E
7 foot man, my last girlfreind died
B A [stop] E
Because my penis is 7 foot wide!
VERSE 3:
--------
E
So the next time you see me walking around
A
And my head's right about to hit a tree branch
E
Tell me to duck down
A E
And I'll pay you back, soon you will see
A E
By getting your frisbee down from that tree
B A [stop] E
I do what I can I'm the 7 foot man
E
7 foot man! 7 foot man!
