A Man of This World Corneille
------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard tuning
INTRO
C#maj7 Aadd9 Badd11 C#maj7 = x46564
C#maj7 Aadd9 Aadd9-Abm-F#m-B Aadd9 = 577600
C#maj7 Aadd9 Badd11 Badd11 = 799800
[C#maj7] [Aadd9] [Aadd9-Abm-F#m]
VERSE1
I was born black an[C#maj7]d free,[Aadd9] I was born in the cold[Badd11]
You see cold was[C#maj7] home to me,[Aadd9] until I was told[Badd11]
I was really from the[C#maj7] South, [Aadd9] so I travelled closer to the s[Badd11]un
But you s[Aadd9]ee, flesh burning heat got me crossing the sea[Badd11]
Back to the[C#maj7] cold again
So here I[F#m] am,[Abm] [A] [B]here I am
CHORUS
C#9sus4-C#m Aadd9 Badd11 C#9sus4 = x44444
I'm a stranger, anywhere I run to
Yes [C#maj7]I am a [Aadd9]stranger
And I just can't[Badd11] seem to find a [E]race I co[Aadd2]uld cl[(Aadd2+]aim[Aadd2++] [Aadd2+)]
The roots to [Ab]my name, but who [Aadd9]I am Add2 = 507600
Badd11 C#maj7 Aadd9 Badd11 Add2+ = 507605
Is a man of this world Add2++ = 507607
[C#maj7] [Aadd9] [Aadd9-Abm-F#m11]
VERSE2 (same chords as before)
This is my second shot, winter's smiling at me
I'm taking this shot to be all I can be
So the next place I stop will be the land of the free
A place where a million of colours and dreams dwell
Sounds like a place to me, where someone might understand
Just who I am, who I am
CHORUS (same as before until last chord)
I'm a stranger, anywhere I run to
Yes I am a stranger
And I just can't seem to find a race I could claim
The roots to my name, but who I am
Is [Badd11]a man of this [Aadd2]world
BRIDGE
Now there's this fuss [C#maj7]about colour
Aadd2 C#maj7 B6/Eb = x64444
And everybody needs to belong B11#9 = 767700
Aadd2 C#m-B6/D#-B11#9-E7 E7 = 076707
So take a minute to consider my perspective
You see, [Aadd9]black kicked me out once and [Ab]white took me in
But [Aadd9]white looked at me once and nearly [Ab]spat at my skin
[F#m] I'm so confused, I'm so confused about who I should [Ab]hate
I figure I'll just love them all[B]
CHORUS x3 (same chords as first chorus, repeat)
I'm a stranger, anywhere I run to
Yes I am a stranger
And I just can't seem to find a race I could claim
The roots to my name, but who I am
Is a man of this world
