Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
He's got secular joy
He's a peculiar boy
But now the luster has gone
The peculiar boy is no more
Who'll save him from being a man?
Not me
He's got precious youth
But forsaken, forsooth
And now the shine grows dim
Change tradition for whim
Who'll save him from being a man?
Not me
(keys solo, keep playing regular chord progression)
(The song pretty much repeats itself throughout)
He's got clothes all red
Strewn on a purple bed
But now the red's in his eyes
He's no longer a prize
Who'll save him from being a man?
Not me
(just drums and Iggy at this part)
I'm qualified, not me
I'm insured to that, not me
I didn't kill the cat, not me
I don't know where it's at, not me
(start playing again with the E chords)
But now his skin is slack
He shows a certain lack
Who'll save him from being a man?
Not me
Who'll save him from being a man?
Not me
Who'll save him from being a man?
Not me
