Here Comes My Man Lyrics

Here Comes My Man - The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten
Standard or whole step down tuning (DGCFAD)
(CAPO 3 for standard, CAPO 5 for whole step)
Arranged by Jack Cookson (Torn_Asunder)
This is the way I saw Brian play it during Gaslight's set on Letterman show.
It doesn't really matter if you tune down or not because his use of a capo
is purely for the chord voicings - so if you don't wanna tune down, just
stick a capo on 3rd.

Chords used:
Verse one:
And how much time do you think that we have?
If I wanted to I could start over again
Let the good night decide who she wants me to find
And I'll never let you drop another tear in my eye
Chorus:
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man
Verse two:
And all my life, I never had a chance
Don't you think I knew about all your pretty girlfriends?
But I waited for you, gave you time to decide
But you never saw it from anybody else's side
Verse three:
So I packed up my things and I faced up my doubts
You know I think I will grow my hair back out
Nevermind what you think, nevermind what you like
I'll take it out to the streets for somebody else to admire
Chorus:
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man
Middle eight:
Maybe time will tell you why I got so much hell to sell you
Please, please understand me
Oh you can't just dance around me
Maybe your work will love you when I'm just not there to hold you
Maybe your pride can be your companion
But I just won't be there to stand through it
Not one more minute will I stand through it
You got me singing baby
Final chorus:
oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man
Singing oh sha la la, oh sha la la, listen honey, here comes my man
Outro (fast strums, listen to song for Rhythm):
Here comes my man
Oh here comes my man
Here comes my man
Oh here comes my man
Oh here comes my man
