This is a  m-a-n’s world (x2)

But it wouldn’t be nothing, noth-i-ng

Without a    women or a gi-rl

You see, man made the cars
 -3”  -4  -4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -4
That take us  over the ro-ad
-6   6   -5  -6 6 -5 6
Man made the tr-a-i-n
-3” -4 -4  4  -4 4  -4 4 -3” 
To  carry the heavy lo-a-d
-6   -6  -6   6 -6 6   6
Man made the electro light
-3” -4  -4 -4  4  -4  -5 -4
To take us out of the da-rk

Like  Noah made the arc

But it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing
-3” -3” -3” -4 -4 4 -4 -5 -4
Without  a  women or a gi-rl
 
Man thinks about little bitty baby girls and a baby boys
Man make them happy
Cause man make them toys
And after man make everything
Everything he can
You know that man makes money
To buy from other man
 
This is a man’s world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Not one little thing
Without a women or a girl
 
 -5    7  -5 -5   6 -5 6 
He's lost in the wilderness
 -5   7   -4  -5 -4 -4
He's lost in bitterness
