A

[Verse 1]
            D                  A
This mans a child, this man is old
               D                    A
Sometimes he's mild, sometimes he's bold
           D                  A
This man I love, sometimes in spite
                D                                 E
I wish he would stick to his guns, or abandon the fight

[Chorus]
            D                  A
But when he shines, oh when he shines
            D                    E
Yes when he shines, he shines so bright

[Verse 2]
            D                  A
Sometimes a tramp, sometimes a dude
           D                                            A
He changes colour just like a chameleon, can't find the mood
        D                      A
He is a song thats not easy to write
        D                                       E
He is a moon in the morning, and the sun out at night

[Chorus]
            D               A
But when he shines, when he shines,
           D                    E
Oh when he shines, he shines so bright

[Bridge]
            D                      A
This mans a gentleman, this man is strong
            D                    E
This temperamental man plays me along

            G       D
But when he shines, when he shines,
   G                         A
oh when he shines, he shines so bright
            G       D
Yes when he shines, when he shines,
   G                         A
oh when he shines, he shines so bright

D E7 A
Oh...

[Outro]
            G          D
But when he shines, oh when he shines
            G                 A           D
Yes when he shines, he shines so bright
