Eb Eb7 Ab7

[Verse 1]
    Eb
My ancestors were kings of old
              Ab            
They ruled the world and all of its gold
           Bb     Ab                       Eb        
But look at me, oh look at me, just look at me

[Verse 2]
    Eb
My ancestors would find the sun
           Ab
Before they bowed down to anyone
             Bb             Ab                       Eb
But you gonna look at me, oh look at me, just look at me
       Ab                 Eb
Yeah, oh look at me, I'm a stranger in this land
Ab                  Bb                             
Watch me stand tall, help me, help me be just a man, oh

[Chorus]
    Eb                             Eb7
My ancestors, they were mighty men
      Ab
And my son, he will be one of them
                Bb                         Ab
And they'll just look at him, yeah, they'll look at him
                Eb           Db            Bb          
And they'll say, he's a man, he's a man, my son's a man, oh

[Outro]
    Eb      Ab7                   Eb   Eb7
My ancestors, they passed it on to me
Ab7                Eb   Eb7
I've got to, got to work
Ab7                 Eb   Eb7
And pass it on to my son
Ab7             Eb      Ab7     
And he will be a man, oh yeah
                     Eb   Eb7
And pass it on to his son
Ab7             Eb                  Ab7          Eb               
And he will be a man, oh yes he will, my son will be a man
