Album version
This is a piano song, and he prefers to play these on the black keys,
hence the original key is Ab major. On a guitar this suggests a capo
on the 1st fret, with the following chords:
(shamelessly happy "la la la la"s throughout the intro:)
G . . . |C /B Am7 . |D . C . |G . . . |
G . . . |C . . . |D . . . |G . . . |
[G]The man in me will do [C]nearly [C/B]any [Am]task,
And [D]as for compens[C]ation, there's little he would [G]ask.
Take a [G]woman like you
To get [C]through to the [C/D]man in me.
Storm clouds are raging all around my door,
I think to myself I might not take it any more.
Take a woman like your kind
To find the man in me.
But, [Am]oh, what a wonderful [G]feeling
Just to [Am]know that you are [G]near,
[Am]Sets my a heart a-r[G]eeling
From my [Am]toes up to my [D]ears.
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen,
But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine.
Took a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.
[G]La[C] l[/B]a l[Am]a la[D] e[G]tc...
repeat and fade
Version from Paris July 6, 1978
The [A]man in me will do[Bm] nearly any thing,
[E] As for compensation, what[D]ever you wanna bring.[A]
Take a [A]woman like you
To get [Bm]through [E] to the man in [D]me.[A/C#] [Bm] [A]

Storms on the river of no return,
I'd try to teach you how, but I know that you never learn.
Take a woman like your kind
To find the man in me.
But, [Bm]oh, what a wonderful [A]feeling
Just to [Bm]know that you're really the[A]re,
It [Bm]sets my old heart a-[A]reeling
[Bm] right from my fe[C#m]et to the t[D]op of the s[E]tairs.
How can you believe it? Well, I guess it's true
I'm lying next to her, baby, but I'm thinking of you
Take a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.
(instrumental verse)
Oh, what a wonderful feeling
Just to know that you really exist,
It makes my, makes my head go reeling
All you got to do is look my way, and, baby, I just can't resist
(I) go down to the border beneath the sun
Calling out her name, but, baby, you're the one
Take a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.
Take a woman like you
To get through to the man in me.
