G
Can you judge a man,
A F#m
By the way he wears his hair?
Can you read his mind,
By the clothes that he wears?
Em F#m
Can you see a bad man,
G A
By the pattern on his tie?
Chorus:
B A
Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I,
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I,
Oh, Mr, you're a better man than I,
B F#m
Yeah, Mr, you're a better man than I.
Could you tell a wise man,
By the way he speaks or spells?
Is this more important,
Than the stories that he tells?
And call a man a fool,
If for wealth he doesn't strive?
chorus
Can you condemn a man,
If you're faith he doesn't hold?
Say the colour of his skin,
Is the colour of his soul?
Could you say that men,
For king and country all must die?
chorus
