E7                  D5
See the dwarves and see the giants,
G                   A
Which one would you choose to be?
    E7               D5
And if you can't get that together,

Here's the answer, here's the key:

You can freeze like a 30th century man.

Like a 30th century man

I'll save my breath and take it with me,
G              A
'Til a hundred years or so.
E7                 D5
Shame you won't be there to see me
G                  A
Shaking hands with Charles de Gaulle.
        E7       G         A
Play it cool and seranwrap all you can,
     G            A
Be a 30th century man.
        E7            G            A
You can freeze like a 30th century man.
       G            A
Like a 30th century man
