PROUD MAN

 

CAPO on 1

 

Tabs:     Asus2    xx22xx

          D5       xxx23x  

 

Intro:  E-Asus2 (8 times)

 

E   Asus2     E       Asus2   E

You work your fingers to the bone

    Asus2       E     Asus2    E

You sacrifice a happy home

    Asus2   E   Asus2      E

Now you have nothing to show

   Asus2    E        Asus2   

My energy’s wasted on you

 

A   Asus2   A      Asus2

You must be such a proud man

A   Asus2   A      Asus2   E  Asus2  E  Asus2

You must be such a very proud man

 

E           Asus2     E   Asus2           E

I waited on the doorsteps down the hallway

     Asus2        E       Asus2      E

Ears ringing from the words you threw

       Asus2       E           Asus2           E

You’ve asked me to think about what I’ve done

      Asus2  E       Asus2       E       A

Well mister, tell me how about you?

 

    Asus2   A      Asus2       A

You must be such a proud man

   Asus2    A      Asus2            A

You must be such a very proud man

Asus2    A  sus2         A

You must be such a proud man

   Asus2    A     Asus2            A

You must be such a very proud man

 

 

 

 

BRIDGE

A             D5               E       Asus2-E-Asus2-A

I wait like a thief for a real emotion

             D5              E      Asus2-E-Asus2-A

As if it’s a cure or a magic potion

             D5                 E      Asus2-E-Asus2-A

I’m lost on ideas to escape the burning

                   D5                  E   Asus2-E-Asus2-E

And I long for the day when the tables turn.

 

 

I’m watching you thinking you got it made

You pace like an animal in a cage

It must have been something I said

My energy’s wasted on you.
