The Man Who Was Too Loud
Frank Black

F         G        A        C
Though he loved to rock and roll
D         E    F
All these many years
   F      G        A      C
He cared about the old people's
    G                 Am 
And little children's ears
F         G     A           C
Though he was a guitar man
     D       E
He deflected and he bowed
F     G      A       C
Never will I ever be
    G          Am
Nor ever will again
    G               C                  
The man who was too loud

C  F   C  F

C        F
Jonathan Poorman
C             G
Never been so down
Am        F
That real fool
           G       F
He was not proud
C               F
They don't need power
C              G
Just to make a sound
Am            Fm             G7
This time the man refused to be
       F               G
No the man who was too loud

Bb          Dm
I will play softly
Gm          Dm
I will play softly
Bb     Gm
Softly now
F               Bb              G     C
Cause I was the man who was too loud

Bb         C        D        F
It's not because he don't respect
    G       A     Bb
The popular music stars
Bb     C       D       F
We all saw him warming up
        C                   Dm
For the king of the surf guitar
Bb      C      D        F
He'll admit he does not like
    G         A      Bb
The shivering of the crowd
Bb  C          D       F
His blood they came to see
    C               Dm
The man who used to be
    C               F
The man who was too loud

F            Bb
Jonathan's a richman
F            C
He sure gets around
Dm           Bb
He's glad to be
            C      Bb
The kind of clown
F             Bb
He don't need power
F              C
Just to make a sound
Dm            Bbm            C
This time the man refused to be
         Bb              C
Yeah the man who was too loud
