NOTES: This is a catchy little blues shuffle from

Eric’s “Money and Cigarettes” album which

was released in 1983. This song has three

guitars playing – two doing the blues riff

patterns and one playing the licks and fills.

The chords and blues riff are tabbed here,

but I haven’t tabbed any of the licks.

Here are the different blues riffs in the song

(play them during the appropriate chords):

“E” Riff “A” Riff “B” Riff

* At each of the spots with an “A*” both guitars play

two quick A-chord stabs.

Intro: play “E” Riff alone 4x, then 2nd guitar

joins in with chords.

Verse 1:

E A* E A*

You’re always in my hair, you keep me feeling fine

I celebrate each time I realize you’re really mine

Chorus:

Cause I’m a man in love

Yes I’m a man in love

I tell it everywhere I go

I want the whole world to know

That I’m a man in love

Verse 2:

E A* E A*

I used to be so sad, like a dog without a bone

And then you showed me something, baby I had never known

Chorus:

Oh I’m a man in love

I’m a man in love

I tell it everywhere I go

I want the whole world to know

That I’m a man in love

(solo – use same chords as verse & chorus)

Verse 3:

E A* E A*

Well I love to see you walk up and down the street

You look so pretty baby, from your head down to your feet

Chorus:

I’m a man in love

Yes I’m a man in love

I tell it everywhere I go

I want the whole world to know

That I’m a man in love

Verse 4:

E A* E A*

Well the minutes seem like hours, and the hours seem like days

And the days they seem like years every time you go away

Chorus:

I’m a man in love

Yes I’m a man in love

I tell it everywhere I go

I want the whole world to know

That I’m a man in love

Yes I’m a man in love….

(repeat and fade)
