    C              Am
He did his little dance
      E                    F
There up in the north of Spain
       C               Am
Danced all the way to France
          E                F
Just to try and bring her rain
            C  Am       F C
That’s the way of this man

He rolled away the stone
With a plastic crucifix
‘Cause he’d rather get his kicks
Than to be here all alone
That’s the way of this man

Chorus:
A#         F          Gm    F 
He’s not much of a bel esprit
Dm         A      Cm     A#
She can’t seem to understand him
A#      F          Gm    F 
A bit more like a chimpanzee

She thinks he has no soul
’Cause he never learned to crawl
That’s the way of this man

And that he can only sing
Of his incipient love
That’s the way of this man

Chorus

            F Dm       A#
That’s the way of this man - x4
