Verse 
A 
I know a man, he's a powerful man  
             D                                                     A 
He's got the people in his power in the palm of his hand.  
A                      
He started at the bottom and he worked his way up  
                   D                                     A 
Now he's never going to stop Until he reaches the top.  


A D A D It's the same old story, it's the same old dream, C A It's power man, power man, and all that it can bring.
Verse A If you want your money, you better stand in the line D A 'Cos you'll only end up picking up nickels and dimes. A You call him names and he sits and grins D A 'Cos everybody else is just a sucker to him. Pre-Chorus A D A D A And he's got my money, but I've got my faith D A And powerman, powerman, I'll never be your slave.
A D A D It's the same old story, it's the same old game A It's power man, power man, driving me insane
Bridge C D People tried to conquer the world Napoleon and Genghis Khan F C Hitler tried and Mussolini too C D Powerman don't need to fight, powerman don't need no guns F C A D Powerman got money on his side Verse A Well I'm not rich and I'm not free D A But I've got my girl and she got me A He's got my money and my publishing rights D A But I've got my girl and I'm alright Pre-Chorus A D A D A And she got me going, and she keeps me sane D A But powerman, powerman, got money on the brain
A D A D It's the same old story, it's the same old game A It's power man, power man, driving me insane
