Boy Like Me/Man Like You Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]You was a baby like I was once
You was cryin' in the early mornin'
You was born in a stable Lord
Reid Memorial is where I

[Verse 2]
was born
[D]They wrapped you in swaddling [G]clothes

[Verse 3]
Me they dressed in baby blue
[G]
Well, I was twelve years old
in the meeting house
Listening to the old men pray
Well, I was tryin' hard to figure out
What it was that they was

[Verse 4]
tryin' to say
[D]There you were in the temple
They said, "You weren't old enough
to know the things you knew"
[G]

[Verse 5]
Well did you [C]grow up hungry?
Did you grow up fast?
Did the little girls giggle
when you walked past?
Did you [G]wonder what it was
that made them laugh?
[D]And did they

[Verse 6]
[Am]tell you stories
'bout the saints of old
Stories about their faith
They say stor[D]ies like that
make a boy grow [Am]bold
[D]Stories like that make a man
walk [G]straight

[Verse 7]
And you was a boy like I was once
but was you a boy like me
Well I grew up around Indiana
You grew up around Galilee and
[D]if I ever really do grow up
[G]Lord, I wan[Am]na grow up[D]
and be [G]just like you

[Verse 8]
[G]
Well did you [C]wrestle with a dog
And lick his nose?
Did you play beneath the spray
of a water hose?
Did you [G]ever make angels
in the winter snow?

[Verse 9]
And did they [Am]tell you stories
'bout the saints of old
Stories about their faith
They say stor[D]ies like that
make a boy grow bold
Stories like that make a man
[G]walk straight

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 10]
Did you [C]ever get scared
Playing hide and seek?
Did you try not to cry when you
scraped your knee?
Did you [G]ever skip a rock
across a quiet creek?

[Verse 11]
And did they [Am]tell you stories
'bout the saints of old
Stories about their faith
They say [D]stories like that
make a boy grow [Am]bold
[D]Stories like that make a man walk straight

[Interlude 2]
[G]

[Verse 12]
[D]And I really may just grow up
And be like [G]you someday
