Cant Keep A Good Man Down by Randy Newman
Key: AA | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

Intro:

A7

Dm         A7      Dm
 Everybody gather 'round me;
      A#m               Dm
I got somethin' I wanna tell you...

Interlude:

A#m  Dm, A#m  G, C#
                  Listen...

Verse 1:

F                          A7
 When you're on the bottom like I am today,
D7
 And those around you are losing faith,
In what you're tryin' to do;
G9                                 C7
 There is only one thing a man can say;
    Dm    A#     C7       F    C7, F
You can't keep a good man down.

Verse 2:

F                       A7
 There've been mistakes and I've made a few,
D7
 But, oh, what a price I had to pay.
G9                               C7
 Yet still they try to push me a-round,
         Dm    A#     C7       F    C, C7
But they can't keep a good man down.

Bridge 1:

F7
 There may be times, when I'm feelin' low,
       D#    A# A   A#
I lose sight of the dream.
            D#    A# A   A#
(Don't lose sight of the dream).

G7
 But that's alright, 'cos soon, I know;
        C7
I'll be back on top again, runnin' things. Hey, hey.

Verse 3:

F                       A7
 Treat a man like dirt; give him no respect for who he is,
D7
 Expect something dirty in return.
           G9                                     C7
Oh,they're flyin' high up there but they've got a lot to learn.
            Dm    A#     C7       F    C7, F
Because you can't keep a good man down.

Interlude:

Coda:

A#              Bdim      F                 Dm
 They shame me, blame me; they're tryin' to frame me.
         Dm    A#     F              Dm    A#     F
But they can't keep a good man, they can't keep a good man,
     Dm    A#     A7       Dm    F     Em    A#m
They can't keep a good man down, woah, woah, woah...

     F            C7         (G#)
They can't keep a good man... down.
