Your New Man – Mason Jennings
(Tune down one-half step)
Verses: (Strum each chord one time as noted)
Goodness-a-me, yes I’d agree
I was the one who ended up our history
Well it looks like you wrote the last page to me
Your friends say you’ve got a new man
Girl, that’s so not cool in so many ways
These were s’posed to be my carefree single days
Instead I’m punchin’ walls and coming up ways
Ways to win you back from your new man.
Chorus: (Strumming, pick root notes – for CaddG, alternate C and G bass notes or just
a regular C and move your pinkie between C and G as you play those bass notes)
add
Well right now he’s a probly moaning your name
add
The thought of it is driving me insane
Got to get religion just to ease the pain
add
Of thinking ‘bout you loving your new man
Well, did you get the literature I left in your bed?
add
Told you keep it frozen, it caught fire instead
Have you not heard a single word I’ve said?
add
No, you were busy loving your new man.
Goodness garage – his name is probly Rodge
He probly drives a truck and his hands are probly big
I bet he fixes things around your place when they break
If he says he likes your cooking he’s a fake
Girl, please say he doesn’t tuck his shirts in, please
Please say he doesn’t wear a gold chain, PLEASE
Things were going great; I even went on a date
Then I found out about your new man.
Chorus:
Well right now he’s a probly moaning your name
The thought of it is driving me insane
Got to get religion just to ease the pain
Of thinking ‘bout you loving your new man
Well, did you get the literature I left in your bed?
Told you keep it frozen, it caught fire instead
Have you not heard a single word I’ve said?
No, you were busy loving your new man.
Holly round the tree, that kiss was meant for me
Trust me, he’ll get way too drunk at your Christmas Party
Your friends will laugh at first but as the night gets worse
Collectively they’ll run off your new man
And who’ll be standing there looking like Fred Astair? Me
And I’ll be singing where o where have you been all Fall while I was having a ball?
Certainly, not with your new man…
Chorus: (second - same as before except ending as noted)
Well right now he’s a probly crying your name
The thought of it is driving him insane
Got to find another just to ease the pain
Of thinking ‘bout you loving your new man
Well, did you get the messages he left on your phone?
Told you that he’s sorry and to please come home
Maybe you’d of answered, but were you alone?
add
No, you were busy loving your new man, right
add
You were busy loving your new man – me
add
You were busy loving your new man – that’s right.
