Stan The Man Acordes

[Intro]
C   Am   C   Am
 
[Verse]
C                               Am
Born in nineteen thirty-five in Brooklyn, NY
C               Am
Son of Anna and Phil
C                                   Am
At nineteen years old he married my mother Judy
                G                             F
And immediately paid his first Bloomingdale's bill
 
C                            Am
Right away they started on a family
      C                              Am
Three smart kids popped out of mom's tummy
                    C                            Am
But then one steamy night dad forgot to wear his raincoat
            G                  F
Nine months later out came the dummy . . .
F
but he took ... care of me
 
[Chorus 1]
     C                    Am
Oh, 'Stan the Man' was my hero
    C                   Am
The coolest guy ever, I swear
C                                  Am
He stayed up all night making me a clay volcano
             G               F
That's how I won the science fair
 
[Verse]
C                   Am
He was 6'2, 200 and 50 lbs
C                      Am
And as sweet as he was strong
C                              Am
He was also known to be pretty well endowed
      G                                 F
But believe me he didn't pass that one along
 
C                                          Am
His fav'rite singers were Leon Redbone and Johnny Cash
C                                         Am
His favorite ball players were Koufax and Mickey
C                                       Am
His favorite restaurant was the state's delicatessen
             G                     F
His favorite movie was 'Little Nicky'
F
Sorry 'Godfather I and II' - Maybe next time
 
[Chorus 2]
       C                    Am
Yeah, 'Stan the Man' was my hero
       C                    Am
With a golf swing that made men cry
          C                             Am
He'd take their money and put it in his top dresser drawer
         G                       F
Then I'd steal it so I could get high...
F
But he ... beat that habit ... out of me
 
[Verse]
        C                                     Am
So dad, thanks for letting me stay up late to watch Johnny Carson
C                                               Am
Thanks for coaching all our games in Livingston Park
C                                       Am
Thanks for telling me to always punch a kid in the face
      G                      F
If he made an anti-Semitic remark
 
                C                             Am
Yeah, and don't worry 'bout mom, we'll always look after her
C                            Am
Me, Scott, Val, Liz, and the grandkids
C                                     Am
And when Jacky and I have children of our own
             G                           F
We'll try to raise them just the way you did
 
[Bridge]
C                                        Am
So say 'hi' to both my grandmas and grandpas
C                                 Am
Tell my dog, Meatball, I miss him so
C                                     Am
But most important, take advantage of being in heaven
       G                  F
And go bang Marilyn Monroe
 
Mom said ... it's cool ... just wear a raincoat
 
[Chorus 3]
     C                    Am
Oh, 'Stan the Man' was my hero
      C                  Am
Still is and always will be
         C                                 Am
Cause he didn't give too much a crap about nothin'
       G                 F
Except loving his fam-i-ly
 
[Outro]
      C                Am
Well 'Stan the Man' is gone
                     C
But will always live on
