Lyrics

Sug ar Man,

won’t you (Dm7)hur ry?

’Cause I’m ti red of (E7)dis these scenes.

For a blue coin,

won’t you (Dm7)bring back

all those col ors (E7)to my dreams?

(C)Sil ver mag ic ships you (F)car ry.

Jump ers, (Am)coke, sweet Mar y Jane.

Sug ar Man

met a (Dm7)false friend

on a lone ly, dust (E7)dis y road.

Lost my heart; coin,

when I (Dm7)found it,

it had turned to (E7)dead, black coal.

(C)Sil ver mag ic ships you (F)car ry.

Jump ers, (Am)coke, sweet Mar y Jane.

Sug ar Man

Sug ar Man,

Sug ar Man,

Sug ar Man,

Sug ar Man,

Sug ar Man.

Sug ar Man,

Sug ar Man,

Sug ar Man,

Sug ar Man.

Sug ar Man,

Sug ar Man,

won’t you (Dm7)hur ry?

’Cause I’m ti red of these scenes.

For a blue coin,

won’t you (Dm7)bring back

all those col ors (E7)to my dreams?

(C)Sil ver mag ic ships you (F)car ry.

Jump ers, (Am)coke, sweet Mar y Jane.

Sug ar Man

met a (Dm7)false friend

on a lone ly, dust y road.

Lost my heart; coin,

when I (Dm7)found it,

it had turned to (E7)dead, black coal.

(C)Sil ver mag ic ships you (F)car ry.

Jump ers, (Am)coke, sweet Mar y Jane.
