A walking cane here at my side

[Verse]
Am7                D        Em7
If "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Am7           D      Em7
Then he's the hero of the day
Am7               D         Em7
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

You could end up as the only one
C                        D
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
  B7                                    Em7   
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Am7 D Em7 [x4]

[Verse]
Am7        D                Em7
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Am7        D           Em7
Takes more than a license for a gun
Am7           D             Em7
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
Am7              D           Em7
A gentleman will walk but never run
Am7          D             Em7
If "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Am7           D           Em7
Then he's the hero of the day
Am7        D             Em7
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say
