Boy Like Me/ Man Like You (Rich Mullins) ------------------------- (Transcribed by Dave Kitabjian, dave@kitabjian.com I got a couple of tips on how to play this song from Billy Crockett, the guy who plays the guitar on this recording. If you like this transcription or use it or have comments, I'd love to hear from you!) Tuning: Double Drop D (DADGBD) Capo: 5 Intro: Dno3 - G (x4) Dno3 G You was a baby like I was once Dno3 G You was cryin' in the early mornin' Dno3 G You was born in a stable Lord Dno3 Reid Memorial is where I was born A7sus4 And they wrapped You in swaddling clothes G Dno3 - G (x2) Me they dressed in baby blue Well I was twelve years old in the meeting house, Listening to the old men pray [Lick] I was tryin' hard to figure out What it was that they was tryin' to say And there You were in the temple [Lick] They said You weren't old enough to know the things You knew GM7 Did You grow up hungry did You grow up fast? Did the little girls giggle when you walked past? Dsus9 Did You wonder what it was that made them laugh? Chorus: GM7 Did they tell You stories 'bout the saints of old, Stories about their faith? 2/5 (vocal harmonies) A7sus4 They say stories like that make a boy grow bold 5/3 [Lick] Stories like that make a man walk straight You was a boy like I was once But was You a boy like me? Well I grew up around Indiana, You grew up around Galilee [shortened Lick] And if I ever really do grow up Lord I want to grow up and be just like You Well did You wrestle with a dog and lick his nose? Did You play beneath the spray of a water hose? Did You ever make angels in the winter snow? CHORUS Instrum w/ recorder solo: Dno3 - G (x4) A7sus4 Dno3 - G (x2) Well did You ever get scared playing hide and seek? Did You try not to cry when You scraped Your knee? Did You ever skip a rock across a quiet creek? CHORUS A7sus4 (quieter) Lick And I really may just grow up and be like You Dno3 - G - Dno3 - DM7sus4 Someday Dno3 - DM7sus4 (x2) - Dadd4 Words and music by Rich Mullins and Beaker © 1991 Edward Grant / Kid Brothers of St. Frank (ASCAP) ---------------------------------------------------- Notes: (palm mute strings selectively) Dno3 G | | D----------------|------------------ B-----------3----|------------------ G----(0/2)-------|-2--------(0)----- D-----0----------|-0---0-----0------ A----------------|-------0/2-------- D---0-----0---0--|------------------ A7sus4 | D----------------|------------------ B-----------2----|---------3-------- G----------------|------------------ D-----0/2--------|-----2/4---------- A---0-----0---0--|--0--------0------ D----------------|------------------ A7sus4 (cont'd) "Lick" | D----------------|------------------ B---------5------|------------------ G----------------|------------------ D---4/5----------|-----2/4\2\0------ A-------0---0----|--0----------2\0-- D----------------|------------------ GM7 (x2) | D---------0--------|------------------- B-----------0---0--|--------0---------- G-------0-----0----|------0---------0-- D---2/4------------|--2\0---------0---- A------------------|----------0/2------ D------------------|------------------- Dsus9 | D-----0/2----------|--2\0-------------- B------------------|------------3------ G-----------2------|--------2---------- D-----0---0---0----|--0---0---0---0---- A------------------|------------------- D---0--------------|------------------- Dsus9 (cont'd) D---0/4-------------|--2\0-------------- B----------3--------|--------3---------- G-----------------2-|---------------2--- D---0----0---0--0---|--0---0---0--0----- A-------------------|------------------- D-------------------|------------------- DM7sus4 | D------------------- B------------------- G---------0--------- D---------0--------- A---0/2/4 (hold)---- D--------(5\)------- DADGBD Dadd4 xx0034
