Title: Mister You`re a Better Man Than I
Artist: Jeff Beckf
I worked this out from a scratchy tape of a record. I`m not
sure of the key -- I could be off by a half step, but it seems to
make sense. The solo sounded like it was over G instead of over a
progression, but I didn`t spend much time on it.
Commnets, corrections, and additions are welcome.

verse:
G A
Can you judge a man
F
By the way he wears his hair
G A
Can you read his mind
F
By the clothes that he wears
E F
Can you see a bad man
G A
By the pattern on his tie
Chorus:
B A
Well then mister you`re a better man than I 4x
(after 4th repeat)
B A F
verse 2:
Could you tell a wise man
By the way he speaks or spells
Is this more important
Than the stories that he tells
And call a man a fool
If for wealth he doesn`t strive
Chorus
Solo over G
Verse 3:
You condemn a man
If you faith he doesn`t hold
You say the color of his skin
Is the color of his soul
Could you say that men
For king and country all must die?
Chorus
