***Capo 5th***

Verse 1
          Dadd4                         G5/D
There's a tall thin man standing in the shadows
        Dadd4                                   G5/D
When he calls your name his voice is strong and clear
       Dadd4                        G5/D 
It's a dark and smoky place, so you can't quite see his face
   Dadd4                                G5/D
He pulls you close and whispers in your ear

Verse 2
       D                               G
And he tells you he was born into some money
       D                              G
But it didn't mean he had to sit around
       D                              G
And he knows a thing or two about the things that you should do
   D                                 G
If you don't want to take life lying down

Refrain

First of all hang out a lot with Hemingway

Spend some time fighting bulls in Spain

You should go three rounds with Archie Moore and Sugar Ray
C          D                     C9  
So damn scary you won't mind the pain

Verse 3

Be ringside at the Rumble in the Jungle

Make friends with Hunter S. and Jackie O.
              D                                  G
And when they shoot poor Bobby down, you wrestle Sirhan to the ground
D                                         G
Love your friends and miss them when they go

Refrain

You should write a book or two and start a magazine
C           D             Em
 Even if it never makes a dime
           D                 C9          Em D/F#   G
You should swing out by your feet above the circus ring
       C                D               C9
At the very least throw parties all the time

Verse 4
     D                                G
So enjoy yourself, do the things that matter
            D                             G
Cause there isn't time and space to do it all
D                                G
Love the things you try, drink a cocktail wear a tie
D                                  G
 Show a little grace if you should fall

Don't live another day unless you make it count

There's someone else that you're supposed to be
D                C9            Em  D/F#    G       
Something deep inside of you that still wants out
    C               D                C9
And shame on you if you don't set it free
