 The song continues like that through the second verse up until the part of the


 song with the background vocals. That part of the song goes back and forth between


 the C and D twice without the Em, before playing the Em like the verses. It goes


 likes this: (I hope the lyrics don't make it look to sloppy. Hopefully it helps


 you follow along with the song.)

 Song: What Makes a Man
 Band: City and Colour
 Tuning: Standard - Capo on the 1st fret
 Email: tigiri2001@hotmail.com
 
 Based on a live performance I saw on MuchMusic, this isn't how Dallas plays the
 song live. This is what sounds good when playing along to my CD, though. Obviously
 there's a lot of improvisation when playing this song, but this is the gist of it
 - and this sounds pretty close to the CD version. The brackets illustrate finger
 placement.
