They use vibrato on the recording
intro: G, C, G, C (Lick 1 x2)
G
I could say it's all her fault
She never had any patience at all
C
I'm a complicated guy
G
And she didn't try to understand
(Lick 2)
G
I could claim I had nothing to do
With the fact that I'm lonesome and blue
C D
But that wouldn't be true
G
I'm a self made man
Chorus
C G/B
Yeah I'm the one that fooled around
Am G
And let the one that loved me down
C G/B Dsus4 D
And she had more of me than she could stand
C G/B
I blamed everyone but me
Am G
But now that it's too late I see
Am G/B C
Nobody helped me get where I am
D G
I'm a self made man
(Lick 1 x1)
I could blame it on the way I was raised
Or I could say that I was just too afraid
To let my heart in somebody else's hands
(Lick 2)
I could always make one more excuse
but in the end, what's the use
I might as well face, I'm a self made man
repeat chorus
Lead (C, G/B, Am, G; C, G/B)
Dsus4 D C G/B
woa--, I blamed everyone but me
Am G
But now that it's too late I see
Am G/B C
Nobody helped me get where I am
D G
I'm a self made man
(Lick 1 x3)
(end with last half of Lick 2)
