Man In The Mirror


[Played in the key of G Major with the exception
 of a flatted 7th's, which means no sharps or flats!]


Gonna make a change, for once in my life
-4  3  -3  3 -4 -3   -4   -3  3  -3   2

Gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
 3 -3  -4 -4 -3   3     3  2  3   2   3  -3

Gonna make it right
-4  5  -5  -5  6 -5   4 -4 4 -4 -3

As I turn up the collar on  my favorite winter coat
3 -3  -4  -4  3  -3 3 -4 -3 -4  -4   3  -3  3 -4 -3

This wind is blowing my mind
 -4   -4  3   -3  3  -3  2

I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
3  3  -3  -4   -3  -4   3      3    3  -3  -4 -5  6

Who am I to be blind pretending not to see their needs?
-4  5 -5 -4  5  -5    -5 -5  5  -4  -3 -3   -4   -3  3

A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
-4  4 -4   4 -4  -5  -4  4 -4   4 -4  -5

And a one man's soul
-4  5  6  -4   -4 -3 3

They follow each other on the wind you know
 -4   4 -4   -4  4 -4  4  -4   4   -4   -5

'Cause they got nowhere to go, that's why I want you to know
  -4   -5  6 -5 -5 6 -5 -5 -5   -5    -5 -5  -5   6   7   7



I'm starting with the man in the mirror
-8   -5   6   7   -7 -8 -7 -7  7  7 -7

I'm asking him to change his ways
-8  -5  6   7  -7  -8    -7  -7 7

And no message could have been any clearer
 7  -8  -7  7    7    6    7   7 6  7  -7

If you wanna make the world a better place
-5 -5  -6 -6  -6  -6   -6  -5  -6 -6  -6

Take a look at yourself and make a change
-5  -5  -6  -6  -6  -6  -5   -6 -6  -6  7


Na-na-na   na-na-na   nana-nana
-4  5 -5   -4  5 -5   -4 4 -4 -3 3



I've been a victim of     a selfish kind of love
 3    -4  3 -3  3 -4 -3   3  -4  3   -3   3 -4 -3

It's time that I realize
 3    -4    3 -3  3 -3 2

There are some with no home  not a nickel
  3   -3   -4   -3  -4 -3 3   3 -3 -4 -5  6

Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
 -4    5 -5 -4  5  -5  -5 -5  5   -4   -3     -3 -4 -3 3

A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
-4  4 -4   4 -4   -5     -4  4 -4    4 -4   -5

And a washed out dream
-4  5   6    -4  -4 -3 3

They follow the pattern of the wind, you see
 -4   4 -4  -4   4  -4  4  -4   4    -4  -5

'Cause they got no place to be, that's why I'm starting with me
  -4    -5  6 -5 -5 6 -5 -5 -5   -5    -5  -5   -5   6   7   7
