The Man With The Child In His Eyes

Words and Music By Kate Bush
Very Slow , With Feeling

5 -7 6 6 6 -6 6 6 5 5
I hear~~~ him — before I go to sleep
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 5 5 5
And focus on the day that’s been
5 5 -7 -7 6 -6 -7 -6 6
I realise he’s here ~~~~~~~~~~~
-6 6 -6 6 6 -4 4 -4 5 5
When I turn the light off, and turn o-ver
-7 -7 -7 -6 5 5 5 5
No-bod-y knows a-bout my man
-5 -5 6 -6 -7 6 6 6 6 6
They think he’s lost on some ho-ri- ~~ zon
6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 6 6 -5 6 5 6
And suddenly I find my-self, list’ning to a man
6 6 6 -6 -7 -7
I’ve never known before
6 6 6 6 6 -6 6
Telling me a-bout the sea
6 6 6 -6 6 6 -5 -5
All his loves to e-ter-ni-ty

Chorus

6 -6 -6 -7 -5
Ooh he’s here a-gain
4 -7 -6 6 7 4 -4 -4
The man with the child in his eyes
6 -6 -6 -7 -5
Ooh he’s here a-gain
4 -7 -6 6 7 4 -4 -4
The man with the child in his eyes

Verse 2 (same tune) Followed by chorus.

Verse 2
He’s very understanding, and he’s so
Aware of all my situations
And when I stay up late
He’s always waiting
But I feel him hesitate
Oh, I’m so worried about my love
They say, no no, it won’t last forever
And here I am again my girl
Wondering what on earth I’m doing here
Maybe he dosn’t love me
I just took a trip on my love for him

The Man Who Sold the World*

Original song & lyrics by David Bowie. You can replace +6o with -7
below; technically those notes should be Bb, but it sounds tolerable
using a B. See below for lower-octave version, which is heavy on the
bent notes.

Key: Eb

-1 -1*-1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
When Lib-er-ty Val-ance rode to town
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4 3 -2
The wom-en folk would hide, they’d hide.
-1 -1*-1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
When Lib-er-ty Val-ance walked a-round
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4
The men would step a-side
-3* 4 -5 4 -3* 4 -3* 3 -3 3 -2
Cause the point of a gun was the on-ly law
-2 3 -3 -3*-3* -5 5 -5
That lib-er-ty un-der-stood.
-5 -5 -5* -5* -5 4 -3* 4 4 3-2-1*
When it came to shoot-in’ straight and fast,
3 -2 -1* 1 -1*
He was might-y good.

-1 -1* -2 -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
From out of the east a stran-ger came,
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4 3 -2
A law book in his hand, a man.
-1 -1* -1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
The kind of a man the west would need
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 3
To tame a trou-bled land;
-3* 4 -5 4 -3* 4 -3* 3 -3 3 -2
Cause the point of a gun was the on-ly law
-2 3 -3 -3*-3* -5 5
That lib-er-ty un-der-stood.
-5 -5 -5* -5 -5 4 -3* 4 4 3-2-1*
When it came to shoot-in’ straight and fast,
3 -2 -1* 1 1
He was might-y good.
-5 -5 -5* -5 -5 4 -3* 4 4 3-2-1*
When it came to shoot-in’ straight and fast,
3 -2 -1* 1 1
He was might-y good.

4 4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5* 4
Man-y a man would face his gun
3 -3*-3*-3* 4 -5 4-3*
And man-y a man would fall,
-3* -5* -5* -3* -5* -5 4 -3* 4
The man who shot Lib-er-ty Val-ance,
-5* -3* -5* -5 4 -3* 4
He shot Lib-er-ty Val-ance,
4 -3* 3 4 -3* -1* -2 3
He was the brav-est of them all.

-1 -1* -2 -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
The love of a girl can make a man
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4 3 -2
Stay on when he should go, stay on.
-1 -1* -1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
Just try-in’ to build a peace-ful life
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4
Where love is free to grow;
-3* 4 -5 4 -3* 4 -3* 3 -3 3 -2
But the point of a gun was the on-ly law
-2 3 -3 -3*-3* -5 5
That lib-er-ty un-der-stood.
-5 -5 -5* -5* -5 4 -3* 4 4 3-2-1*
When the fi-nal show-down came at last
-1* 3 -2 -1* 1 -1*
A law book was no good.

-1 -1* -2 -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
A-lone and a-fraid she prayed that he’d
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4 3 -2
Re-turn that fate-ful night, that night.
-1 -1* -1* -2 3 3 -2 -1* 1
When noth-ing she said could keep her man
1 -1* -2 3 -3* 4
From go-in` out to fight.

From the mo-ment a girl
-3* 3 -3 3 -2

The ver-y first thing she learns
-5 -5 -5*-5* -5 -3* 4 4 3 -2-1*
When two men go out to face each oth-er,
3 -2 -1* 1 1
On-ly one re-turns.

4 4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5* 4
Ev-`ry-one heard two shots ring out,
3 -3* -3* 4 4 -5 4
One shot made lib-er-ty fall

The man who shot Lib-er-ty Val-ance,

The Man Who Can’t Be Moved

4 4 6 6 6 5 5 -4 4 6 6 -4
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4, 4 4 -4 5 -4
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I’m not gonna move
4 4 6 6 5 5, -4 4 6 6 6 6 -4
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
-4 4, -5 -5 -5 5 -4 5 6 -5 5 -4 4 4
Saying, «If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?»

4 4 4 6 6 5 5, -4 4 6 6 -4
Some try to hand me money, they don’t understand
-4 4 -5 5 5 6 -5 5 -4 4 4
I’m not broke I’m just a brokenhearted man
4 4 4 6 6 5 -4 -4 4 6 6 -4
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do?
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 5 6 -5 5 -4 4 4
How can I move on when I’m still in love with you?

4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 4 4 4 -4 5 6 5
‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 4 4 4 -4 5 6 5
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 4 4 4 -4 5 6 5
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet
4 4 -6 6 6 -5 -5 5 5 6 -5 5 -4 4 4
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

4 4 4 -4 5
So I’m not moving
6 6 -7 7 -5 5
I’m not moving

4 6 6 5, -4 4 6 6 -4
Policeman says, «Son you can’t stay here»
-4 4, 4 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 4 4, 4, 4
I said, «There’s someone I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year»
4 4 6 6 5 -4 -4 -4 4 6 -6 5 -4 4
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5, 5 5 6 -5 5 -4 4 5 4
If she changes her mind, this is the first place she will go

4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 4 4 4 -4 5 6 5
‘Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me
4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 4 4 4 -4 5 6 5
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 4 4 4 -4 5 6 5

I’m not moving
4 4 4 -4 5
So I’m not moving
6 6 -7 7 -5 5
I’m not moving

-2 -3 4 -4 5 4 -4
People talk about the guy
3 6 5 -4 5 -2, -2 -3 4
Who’s waiting on a girl, oh whoa
-2 -3 4 -4 5 4 -4
There are no holes in his shoes
3 3 6 5 -4 5 -2, 4
But a big hole in his world, hmm

3 4 4 4 4 4 3 -2 4 4 4 4 4 -3 -2
Maybe I’ll get famous as the man who can’t be moved
4 4 4 4 4 4, 3 3 4 -3 4 -4 -4
Maybe you won’t mean to, but you’ll see me on the news
4 -4 4 7 -7 -6 6 -5 5
And you’ll come running to the corner
5 6 -5 5 -4 4 4 5
‘Cause you’ll know it’s just for you-ou

-2 4 -4 5 -4 4 4 -2
I’m the man who can’t be mo-oved
-2 4 -4 5 -4 4 4
I’m the man who can’t be moved

4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 4 (7 7 -7 -6 6 6)
‘Cause if one day you wake up and (find that you’re missing me)
4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 (4 6 -6 7 7 -6 7)
And your heart starts to wonder (oh where on earth I could be)
4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 4 4 (7 7 -7 -6 6 6)
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here (to the place that we meet)
4, 4 6 -5 -5 5 -5 5 5 6 -5 5 -4 4 4
Oh, you’ll see me waiting for you on a corner of the street

3 3 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 -4 4 2 3

This dar-ing young man on the fly-ing trap-eze.

all girls he does please

4 4 -3 -3 4 -4 5 -4 4
7 7 -7 -7 7 -8 8 -8 7
And my love he has pur-loined a-way.

This young man by name was Signor Bona Slang,
Tall, big and handsome, as well made as Chang.
Where’er he appeared the hall loudly rang
With ovation from all people there.

He’d smile from the bar on the people below
And one night he smiled on my love.
She wink’d back at him and she shouted «Bravo,»
As he hung by his nose up above.

Her father and mother were both on my side
And very hard tried to make her my bride;
Her father he sighed, and her mother she cried,
To see her throw herself away.

‘Twas all no avail, she went there every night,
And would throw him bouquets on the stage,
Which caused him to meet her; how he ran me down,
To tell you would take a whole page.

One night I as usual went to her dear home,
Found there her father and mother alone.
I asked for my love, and soon they made known,
To my horror that she’d run away.

She’d packed up her box and eloped in the night
With him, with the greatest of ease;
From two stories high he had lowered her down
To the ground on his flying trapeze@e.

Some months after this I went to the Hall;
Was greatly surprised to see on the wall
A bill in red letters, which did my heart gall,
That she was appearing with him.

He’d taught her gymnastics and dressed her in tights,
To help him live at his ease,
And made her a*sume a masculine name,
And now she goes on the trapeze.

She’d fly through the air with the greatest of ease,
You’d think her the man young man on the flying trapeze.
Her movements were graceful, all girls she could please,
And that was the end of my love.

*****

ALTERNATE VERSION:

Once I was happy, but now I’m forlorn,
Like an old coat that is tattered and torn;
Left in this wide world o weep and to mourn,
Betrayed by a maid in her teens.

Now this girl that I loved, she was handsome,
And I tried all I knew, her to please,
But I never could please her one quarter so well
As the man on the flying trapeze.

Oh, he floats through the air with the greatest of ease,
This daring young man on the flying trapeze;
His actions are graceful, all girls he does please,
My love he has purloined away.

He’d play with a miss like a cat with a mouse,
His eyes would undress every girl in the house.
Perhaps he is better described as a louse,
But the people they came just the same.

Oh, he’d smile from his perch on the people below
And one day he smiled on my love.
She blew him a kiss and she hollered, «Bravo!»
As he hung by his nose up above.

Oh, he floats through the air with the greatest of ease,
This daring young man on the flying trapeze;
His actions are graceful, all girls he does please,
My love he has purloined away.

Oh, I wept and I whimpered, I simpered for weeks,
While she spent her time with the circus’s freaks.
The tears were like hailstones that rolled down my cheeks,
Alas, and alack, and alacka!

I went to this fellow, the blackguard, and said,
«I’ll see that you get your desserts!»
He put up his thumb to his nose with a sneer,
He sneered once again, and said, «Nertz!»

Oh, he floats through the air with the greatest of ease,
This daring young man on the flying trapeze;
His actions are graceful, all girls he does please,
My love he has purloined away.

One night to his tent he invited her in,
He filled her with compliments, kisses, and gin
And started her out on the road to ruin,
Since then l have known no repose.

But e’en now l loved her, I said, «Take my name!
I’ll gladly forgive and forget;»
She rustled her bustle without any shame,
Saying, «Well, maybe later, not yet.»

Oh, he floats through the air with the greatest of ease,
This daring young man on the flying trapeze;
His actions are graceful, all girls he does please,
My love he has purloined away.

One night as usual I went to her home,
And found there her father and mother alone,
I asked for my love and it soon was made known,
To my horror, that she’d run away.

Without any trousseau she’d fled in the night
With him with the greatest of ease,
From two stories high he’d lowered her down
To the ground on his flying trapeze.

Oh, he floats through the air with the greatest of ease,
This daring young man on the flying trapeze;
His actions are graceful, all girls he does please,
My love he has purloined away.

Some months after that I went into a hall,
And to my surprise,I found there on the wall,
A bill in red letters which did my heart gall,
That she was appearing with him.

Oh, he’d taught her gymnastics, and dressed her in tights,
To help him to live at his ease,
He’d made her take on a masculine name,
And now she goes on the trapeze.

Oh, she floats through the air with the greatest of ease,
You’d think her a man on the flying trapeze,
She does all the work while he takes his ease,
And that’s what’s become of my love.
