One Man Band

Leo Sayer

Well everybody knows down ladbrook grove

 You have to leap across the street

 You can lose your life under a taxi cab

 You gotta have eyes in your feet

You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down

 Take up your guitar and play

 But then the law man comes says move along

 So you move along all day

(Personally I would put the last part of the second verse here too, it's very effective)

 Well Im a one man band

Nobody knows nor understands

 Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand

 With my one man band

(same first verse chords)

For three days now I havent eaten at all

My my you must be getting so thin

And soon my cap wont be large enough

To drop a half a crown in

So hey there mister dont you look so sad

Dont look so ill at ease

Well I can play you any song you like

To cheer up that life you lead

Well Im a one man band

Nobody knows nor understands

Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand

With my one man band

 And oh oh oh look at the rain falling

Oh oh oh look at it rain

 Oh look at it rain

Well nobody sees the minstrel boy as he sings his tale of woe

Nobody sees him coming

Nobody see him go

So hey there mister dont you look so sad

Dont look so ill at ease

Well I can play you any song you like

To cheer up that life you lead

Well Im a one man band

Nobody knows nor understands

Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand

With my one man band

Well Im a one man band

Nobody knows nor understands

Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand

With my one man band

Oh Im a one man band

Just a one man band

Oh Im a one man band

It can also easily be played in G, but this is Leo's key.

If you choose G the drop at the Rain bit is a simple run down to Am.

But C has more feeling and character.
