UFS 02 What's a Man to Do?

E E7

Country boy comes up to the town

A Am

Can’t stop his eyes from swiveling around

C#m G#m A Am7 E B7

With all that temptation, what’s a man to do

E E7

He know he should keep holding it in

A Am7

But just one way to be good, so many ways to sin

C#m G#m A Am7 E

With all that temptation, what’s a man to do

You know it’s hard to walk that narrow line

With all those women looking mighty fine

He sees all those guys who seem to have it all

But if he closes his eyes he’ll be heading for a fall

C#m E

He’d been so sure, feeling solid as oak

B7 E

Now he feels it’s all whittling away

C#m E

All his hopes seem like one big joke

F# m A A# B B7

So why not let this poor dog have his day?

So he’ll have just one drink, well maybe two

Now why d’ya think that girl over there is looking at you

Before you know it, he’s drunk and he’s poor

Off she goes as he lies there and snores

Now he hates it here but he can’t go back

So hopeless and worthless, fallen and wrecked

All those stories he’d told of the life he’d cracked

How to face his friends, without losing respect?

So he slips and he slides and he settles in

He’s got no choice so he might as well grin

He know’s he should stand up, take it on the chin

But just one way to be good, so many ways to sin…
