[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]mama [G]was[D] straig[G]ht
and my [D]daddy was straighter
The [A]first chance I got I said see you later
I [G]felt it was time to make my own decisions
Mo[D]m and dad and I[G] was
[A]heading [D]for a collision
The day I [G]left my [D]mama cried
I [A]even thought I saw a tear in daddy's eye
He [G]hoped sooner or later
I would understand
[D]Just what it [G]took to [D]be the man
You the man, you the [G]man[D]
[G]You the [A]man, you the man
You the [G]man, you the man
You, number [D]one[G][D]
Now the road to suc[G]cess
[A]is a [D]bumpy and deep
But a [A]good man will always
find a way to succeed
[G]Good job just kept eluding me
[D]I was introd[G]uced t[A]o r[D]eality
I asked my [G]dad if I could [D]move back in
But he said, [A]son,
let me talk to you as a friend
My [G]door is always open to you for dinner
But [D]your room is [G]not [A]the [D]Olympic Center
You man, you [G]the man[D]
[G]You the [A]man, you the man
You the [G]man, you the man

[Interlude 1]
You, number one

[Verse 2]
You're the [D]man, you're the [G]man
[D]You're [G]the man[A], you're the man
Eat a [G]man, eat a man, you number [D]one
Those were the [G]days
[D]that were pretty hard times
But [A]everything seemed to work out fine
[G]Like a bird trying out a
new pair of wings
Eventu[D]ally [G]I got the s[D]wing of things
So those of you [G]born
with a [D]spoon in your mouth
And [A]never ever faced with
leaving your house
With a [G]slap on the back and
a kick in the rear
Believe [D]me, [G]you [D]will persevere
Cause you the man, you [G]the man[D]
[G]You [A]the man, you the man
You the [G]man, you the man
You, number [D]one[G]
[D]You, [A]num[G]ber one[D]
[A]You, [G]number one
[D]You[A], num[G]ber one[D]
[G]You, [A]num[G]ber one
[D]You[G], num[D]ber[A] on[G]e[D]
[A]You, [G]number one
[D]You[G], num[D]ber[A] on[G]e
[D]You[G], num[D]ero[A] un[G]o[D]
[A]You, [G]number one
