[Intro]
  Cmaj7    D      Emx2
Cmaj7I can hear my Dtrain comin'
EmIt's a lonesome and distant cry
Cmaj7I can hear my Dtrain comin'
EmNow I'm runnin' for my life
Cmaj7What makes a Dman
Walk awEmay from his mind?
I think I Cmaj7knowD  
I think I mEmight know
Cmaj7I can feel the Dwind blowin'
EmIt's sending shivers down my spine
Cmaj7I can feel the Dwind blowin'
EmShakes the trees and the power lines
Cmaj7What makes a Dman
Spend his Emwhole life in disguise?
I think I Cmaj7knowD  
Think I Emmight know
Cmaj7(What makes a Dman?)
I think I might know
Cmaj7(What makes a Dman?)
I think I might know, know
Cmaj7(What makes a Dman?)Em  
  Cmaj7    D      Emx2
(with hammer-ons)
Cmaj7I can see the Dsun settin'
EmIt's casting shadows on the sea
Cmaj7I can see the Dsun, it's setting
EmIt's getting colder, starting to freeze
Cmaj7What makes a Dman
Want to Embreak a heart with ease?
I think I Cmaj7knowD  
Think I Emmight know
Cmaj7(What makes a Dman?)
I think I might know
Cmaj7(What makes a Dman?)
I think I might know, ohh
Cmaj7(What makes a Dman?)Em  
Cmaj7I can hear my Dtrain comin'
EmLooks like time is on my side
Cmaj7I can hear my Dtrain comin'
EmI'm still runnin' for my life
Cmaj7What makes a Dman pray
When Emhe's about to die?
I think I Cmaj7knowD  
I think I Emmight know
  Cmaj7    Dx3, Em  
(What makes a man?)
Think I might know
(What makes a man?)
I think I might know, ohh
(What makes a man?)
  Cmaj7    Dx3, Em  
(What makes a man?)
Think I might know
(What makes a man?)
I think I might know, ohh
(What makes a man?)
