What Color Is A Man Chords

(ver. 1)
Bobby Bare
[Intro]
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
One day a little boy climbed up on his daddy's knee
                                A
With picture and crayons in his hand
          D
He said, "When I grow up this is a man I want to be
C                      D
Daddy, what color is a man?"
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
"When I'm a man I want to be happy
                        A
I want to be strong and free
  D
I want to be brave like a soldier
     C                            D
What crayon should I use to color me."

If you color him blue son he may not be a happy man
F      Bb        F       Bb                    C

G      C         G        D      G         C           G     D
If you color him green or yellow he may be jealous and cowardly
Em               A         Em              A7  D
If you color him black son he may never be free
 
 
[Verse 3]
D
He told him, "Son put your crayons away
                          A
And try your best to understand
D
Man's never made of any color my boy
C                                  D
Color never made any man, any man..."
