Intro:
C5 , G5 , D5 , F5 (x2)

C5
Manny don't need no comforting
         G5                           D5
He don't ask of the world to bring him up
                   F5
Ain't gonna see him waitin' on waitin' on Waitin' on the day
C5
Got him a chair in '73
            G5
It was his only option
                D5
So manny agreed
                       F5
Same chair he has today
Since they threw the cane away

C5
Manny wasn't doing nothing
        G5
He just doing his own thing
            D5
You know it getting pretty cold out
       F5
By the jub jub swing

C5
Oh this friend today
            G5
Right me up   (Right me up)
D5
Oh this friend today
            F5
Right me up
          F...(let ring)
I'm not so weak

(it just keeps going the same for the rest of the song)

Manny gonna go where the rabble go
He gonna roll down the world
And he bring me up
Ain't going to see him
Giving into the others way
Cause they may beat us in search
But our fall is unstained
You know he says it won't be long
Till we are up again
Having another swing
And manny wasn't doing nothing
He just doing his own thing
Yah know it gettin' pretty cold
But he the one who bring

Oh this friend today
Right me up
Oh this friend today
Right me up
I'm not so weak

'cause the bottles not empty
'cause your voices are all there
My life will fight in my body for air
'cause the bottle's not empty
'cause your voices are all there
My life will fight in my body for air

Oh this friend today
Right me up
Oh this friend today
Right me up
I'm not so weak

Manny we gonna get that a.m. dial just right
I'll hold that hanger up
As long as the sox put up a fight
