I read about a man to whom I Riff 1
may be related, he's leatherman. Riff 1
Died a long time ago in the 18 Riff 1
80's...leatherman, leatherman. Riff 1
Am C G
Covered with leather, but it was tight.
Bm G A A
Underneath the moon in the woods at night...
D G F G
Makin' the rounds ten miles a day,
D G F G
Once a month they'd spot him, here's what they'd say...
D G F G
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land. He's
D G F G
leatherman. Smile on his face, an axe in
D G F G D G F
F
his pack. He's leatherman, leatherman, leatherman."
C G F
Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed.
C F C A
Wasn't known to say much but "Thanks for the bread."
So modern day I walk with my Riff 1
jacket faded, just like the man of Riff 1
leather whom I may be related Riff 1
Riff 1 (by itself once)
Am C G
Rolled a cigarette, but when he asked for a light,
Bm G A
Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.
D G F G
Makin' the rounds ten miles a day.
D G F G
Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd say...
D G F G
"Here he comes, he's a man of the land,
D G F G
he's leatherman, smile on his face, axe in
D G F G
his hand, he's leatherman, leatherman, leatherman."
D G F G D
G F F
.....................................leatherman, leatherman
F G F
Shake his hand he's leatherman.
F G F
Bake some bread he's leatherman.
F G F
Shame he's dead. I saw his bed,
F G D G F G
It's all that's left of leatherman.
D G F F
Leatherman............
G F G Bm
Give me some skin, leatherman
