2000 Man Tab

by Rolling Stones


2000 MAN    
(Jagger/Richards)

[I think the one line of the chorus/bridge/break/whatever ends in
a pun (sun = son), but can't be sure as I'm only listening to the
recording.  Any attempt to tab this sucker certainly welcome.]

Intro:  Instrumental 

                                          
Well my name is a number, a piece of plastic film
()                                       
And I grow tiny flowers in my little window sill
                               /
Don't you know I'm the two thousand man?
                                          
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all

[same chords:]
Though my wife still respects me, I really misuse her
I am having an affair with a random computer
Don't you know I'm the two thousand man?
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all

                ()                     
       Oh daddy, be proud of your planet, 
                             
       Oh mommy, be proud of your sun
                ()               
       Oh daddy, be proud of your planet
                             
       Oh mommy, be proud of your sun
     (?)              
      Oh daddy, is your brain still flashing 
                      
       like it did when you were young?
     
       Or did you come down crashing  
                                 
       seeing all the things you'd done?
                         
       Oh it's a big put - on

                                
       Oh daddy, be proud of your planet
     ()                        
       Oh mommy, be proud of your sun
                                
       Oh daddy, be proud of your planet
     ()                        
       Oh mommy, be proud of your sun
                                           
[Beat a bit on a power E, then play these four lines again. 
Moving to D]

Don't you know I'm the two thousand man?
                                            (hold)
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all
