Intro: B  B  F#m  A  B  B  F#m  A  A 
 
B 
Took my baby to a picture show 
 
Found a seat in the back row 
 
Sound came up lights went down 
                            E 
Rambo he was blowin' 'em down 
                B                 F#m 
I don't need no gun in my fist baby 
              C#m 
All I need is your sweet kiss 
          A                   B 
To get me feelin' like a real man 
 A                  B 
Feelin' like a real man 
             E 
Well you can beat on your chest 
          F#m 
Hell any monkey can 
               A                   B 
But you got me feelin' like a real man 
   A                   B 
Oh feelin' like a real man 
 
 
Me and my girl Saturday night 
 
Late movie on channel five 
 
The girls were droppin' they're droppin' like flies 
                                              E 
To some smooth talkin' cool walkin' private eye 
               B 
I ain't got no nerves of steel 
         F#m                     C#m 
But all I got to know is if your love is real 
          A                   B 
Oh get me feelin' like a real man 
   A                   B 
Oh feelin' like a real man 
             E 
Well you can beat on your chest 
          F#m 
Hell any monkey can 
                   A                   B 
Your love's got me feelin' like a real man 
   A                   B 
Oh feelin' like a real man 
 
 
 B  B  B  F#m  A  B  B  F#m  A  A 
 
 
        B 
Well, I ain't no fighter that's easy to see 
 
And as a lover I ain't goin' down in history 
 
But when the lights go down and you pull me close 
                                                     E 
Well I look in your eyes and there's one thing I know 
              B          F#m 
Baby I'll be tough enough 
                          Bm 
If I can find the guts to give you all my love 
             A                   B 
Then I'll be feelin' like a real man 
A                   B 
Feelin' like a real man 
             E            B 
Well you can beat on your chest 
          F#m 
Hell any monkey can 
           A                   B 
You got me feelin' like a real man 
   A                   B 
Oh feelin' like a real man 
            A                   B
