D#m               A#m
    to carry heavy loads

D#m              A#m
everything he can
                       D#m        A#m
You know that man makes money, 
           D#m           A#m
to buy from other men
[Chorus]

This is a man's, man's, a man's world
                    A#m
But it wouldn't be nothing, not one little thing
            D#m                A#m
without a woman or a girl
[Bridge]
D#m  A#m
         D#m                     A#m
He's lost     in the wilderness
D#m           A#m
    He's lost
D#m               A#m
    in bitterness
D#m           A#m
    He's lost...
