Version 1
            [Intro]
C  C/G  C  C/G  x2
[Verse 1]
     C             C/G        C         C/G
Well everybody knows down Ladbrook Grove
            Dm                F
You have to leap across the street
             G                  Em
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
          F                    C      C/G
You gotta have eyes in your feet
           C           C/G          C            C/G
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
      Dm                   F
Take up your guitar and play
           G                   Em
But then the law man comes, says move along
     F                  C      C/G      C
So you move along all day
[Chorus]
                      C      C/G
Well I'm a one man band
F        Em         F
Nobody knows nor understands
           Em                         F
Is there anybody out there want to lend me a hand
                  C      C/G     C      C/G
With my one man band
C      C/G      C      C/G
[Verse 2]
    C            C/G         C           C/G
For three days now I haven't eaten at all
     F                        F   Em   F   F#
My my, I must be gettin so thin
    G
And soon my cap won't be large enough
   F                     C     C/G
To drop a half a crown in
   C            C/G            C          C/G
So hey there mister, don't you look so sad
      F                 F   Em   F   F#
Don't look so ill at ease
           G
When I can play you any song you like
   F                        C     C/G     C
To cheer up the life you lead
[Chorus]
                 C     C/G
Oh I'm a one man band
F        Em        F
Nobody knows nor understands
           Em                     F
Is there anybody out there want to lend me a hand
                C     C/G    C    C/G
To my one man band
C     C/G     C     C/G
[Bridge]
    F   Em  Bb                F
And oh, oh, oh, look at the rain falling
F   Em  Bb            G
Oh, oh, oh, look at it rain
              C    C/G    C    C/G
Oh look at it rain
C     C/G     C     C/G
[Verse 3]
    C        C/G              C       C/G
And nobody sees the minstrel boy
        Dm                  F
As he sings his tale of woe
G                  Em
Nobody sees him coming
F                 C     C/G
Nobody sees him go
   C           C/G             C          C/G
So hey there mister, don't you look so sad
      Dm                 F
Don't look so ill at ease
           G               Em
When I can play you any song you like
   F                        C     C/G     C
To cheer up the life you lead
[Chorus]
                 C     C/G
Well I'm a one man band
F        Em        F
Nobody knows nor understands
           Em                     F
Is there anybody out there want to lend me a hand
                C     C/G    C    C/G
To my one man band
C     C/G     C     C/G
                 C     C/G
Well I'm a one man band
F        Em        F
Nobody knows nor understands
           Em                     F
Is there anybody out there want to lend me a hand
                C     C/G    C    C/G
To my one man band
C     C/G
[Outro]
C          C/G       C     C/G
  Oh I'm a one man band
C            C/G       C     C/G
  I'm just a one man band
C            C/G       C     C/G
  Well I'm a one man band
C            C/G       C     C/G
  I'm just a one man band
