        G7
Well, a man came knocking on my door,
He was dressed in blue and six foot four
Stuck his fingers in my face
                                G7 - Ab7 - Bb7  Ab7  G7
He said, "I represent the human race"                   Oh yeah


[play: | Bb7 Ab7 | G7 |]


VERSE:
I said, "Come on in, sit right down
You must be tired of running around
I've watched these races from within
But I never said you would win."
He said, "Oh yeah"


VERSE:
So, he took a long drink and began to cry
He said, "This ju-ju wine is much too dry
What I need is something sweet
To ease my pain and help me sleep."
Oh yeah


VERSE:
I said, "Friend, don't be so glum
Push through the clouds and you'll find the sun
Push some more and you'll find it's true
That the sun's right there inside of you."
             Bb7      Ab7      G7
He said, "Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah"


VERSE:
Well, I haven't seen him since we mt that day
I don't have any more to say
Let's raise our glasses to the sun
Drinks to everyone
Yeah, oh yeah
