***Capo 5th***

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

Verse 2
       D5                               G5
And he tells you he was born into some money
       D5                              G5
But it didn't mean he had to sit around
       D5                              G5
And he knows a thing or two about the things that you should do
   D5                                 G5
If you don't want to take life lying down

Refrain
D5                 C5          E5 D5 G5
First of all hang out a lot with Hemingway
C5               D5                 E5
Spend some time fighting bulls in Spain
           D5                    C5            E5 D5 G5
You should go three rounds with Archie Moore and Sugar Ray
C5          D5                     C5  
So damn scary you won't mind the pain

Verse 3
   D5                             G5
Be ringside at the Rumble in the Jungle
     D5                                 G5
Make friends with Hunter S. and Jackie O.
              D5                                  G5
And when they shoot poor Bobby down, you wrestle Sirhan to the ground
D5                                         G5
Love your friends and miss them when they go

Refrain
           D5               C5           E5 D5 G5
You should write a book or two and start a magazine
C5           D5             E5
 Even if it never makes a dime
           D5                 C5          E5 D5   G5
You should swing out by your feet above the circus ring
       C5                D5               C5
At the very least throw parties all the time

Bridge
E5                 E/7M
Time and tide will never care
E5             A5
Not so far from here to there
        C5 GA5  C5 GAmC5 GA5 DG5 C5 G5
We just go

Verse 4
     D5                                G5
So enjoy yourself, do the things that matter
            D5                             G5
Cause there isn't time and space to do it all
D5                                G5
Love the things you try, drink a cocktail wear a tie
D5                                  G5
 Show a little grace if you should fall

Refrain
      D5            C5          E5  D5 G5
Don't live another day unless you make it count
        C5                 D5                  E5
There's someone else that you're supposed to be
D5                C5            E5  D5    G5       
Something deep inside of you that still wants out
    C5               D5                C5
And shame on you if you don't set it free
