[Intro]
C#m7
[Verse 1]
Well, I C#m7lost you at the border when you crossed it
C#m7Had your number, baby, but I lost it
F#I know your love was just a flim C#m7flam
No, you G#7can't pull the wool over BmeF#, 'cause I'm a confidence C#m7man
[Verse 2]
I can C#m7talk old ladies out of all of their money
I can C#m7talk young girls into calling me honey
F#You can talk all you want, babe, but I got fast C#m7hands,
G#7You're a real soft BtoF#uch, but I'm a confidence C#m7man
[Bridge]
I know your F#mother taught you how to bake a cherry pie and read a book
Your C#m7daddy taught you how to tell a lie and not get shook
F#Let me tell you something, baby, you better learn
If you're G#7gonna con the con man, you're liable to get burned
[Verse 3]
Now, now, now, we were C#m7stretched out on the floor, baby, it's all elastic
C#m7But you stretched it too tight and it snapped like plastic
And the F#pieces went flying across the badC#m7lands
No disG#7couraging word could be BheF#ard, 'cause I'm a confidence C#m7man
[Verse 4]
Now, C#m7maybe Chicago is where you're bound
But C#m7love is a cheap perfume, it hangs around
And you F#roll the dice, now let the bet C#m7stand
No, you G#7can't pull the wool over BmeF#, 'cause I'm a confidence C#m7man
No, you G#7can't pull the wool over BmeF#, 'cause I'm a confidence C#m7man
Said, you G#7can't pull the wool over BmeF#, 'cause I'm a confidence C#m7man

The story behind the song

Jeff Healey was a Canadian blues, rock, and jazz guitarist known for his unique style of playing the instrument flat on his lap. He began playing guitar at age three, having lost his sight as an infant due to retinoblastoma. "Confidence Man" comes from his release "Sound Barrier." It plays like a powerful exploration of trust and deception.
