If you want a (Em)lov er,

I’m your (Bm)man.

(CN.C.)If you want a (Em)box er, I will step in to the (D)ring for you.

(CN.C.)And if you want a (Em)doc tor, I’ll ex am ine ev ’ry (D)inch of you.

Or if you want to (G)take me for a ride,

(CN.C.)I’m your (Bm)man.

Ah, the (D)moon’s so bright, the (G)chain’s too tight, the (A)beast won’t go to sleep.
