Ordinary Man EELS
The song sounds best when played almost entirely with bar chords, the only exception
the Dm found in each verse.
The rhythm is rather simple, the bass notes of each chord generally fall on beats 1 and
while the chords are played on beats 2 and 4. Some minor syncopation sounds excellent as well.
Intro:
C - Bm - Am - G - F - Em -
[-] [G]
Verse 1:
Well it's a[C]nother warm [Bm]day
in the [Am]city of cold [G]hearts.
They [F]all just play the [Em]part of who they [Dm]are.[G]
And I'm [C]here on my [Bm]own.
I'd [Am]rather be a[G]lone
than [F]try to be some[Em]one that I'm [Dm]not.[G]
Chorus:
And you [F]seem like [G]someone
who could ap[C]preci[Bm]ate the [Am]fact[G] [F]
that I'm no [G]ordinary [C]man.
C - Bm - Am - G - F - Em -
[-] [G]
Verse 2:
And it's [C]misunder[Bm]stood
[Am]what you've heard a[G]bout me.
I [F]see why you would [Em]doubt me, but know [Dm]this[G]
[C]No one has a [Bm]right
un[Am]til they've fought my [G]fight
to [F]understand just [Em]where I'm coming [Dm]from.[G]
Chorus:
And it's that [F]fight that brought me [G]here
e[C]xactly [Bm]as I [Am]am,[G] [F]
no [G]ordinary [C]man.
C - Bm - Am - G - F - Em -

Verse 3:
Well it's a[C]nother warm [Bm]day
in the [Am]city of cold [G]hearts.
It [F]ends before it [Em]starts in their [Dm]maze.[G]
But [C]you, you're not like [Bm]that.
You [Am]know where it's [G]at.
The [F]only rules you [Em]follow are your [Dm]own.[G]
Chorus:
And you [F]seem like [G]someone
who could ap[C]preci[Bm]ate the [Am]fact[G] [F]
that I'm no [G]ordinary [C]man.
