E 
He's a rebel and a runner, He's a signal turning green 
He's a restless young romantic, Wants to run the big machine 

Gadd9 
He's got a problem with his poisons 
But you know he'll find a cure 
He's cleaning up his systems 
                   E 
To keep his nature pure 

G                     C                     Am 
Learning to match the beat of the Old World Man 
G                     C                       Am 
Learning to catch the heat of the Third World Man 

E 
He's got to make his own mistakes 
And learn to mend the mess he makes 
G                  C 
He's old enough to know what's right 
    Am 
But young enough not to choose it 
G                    C 
He's noble enough to win the world 
    Am 
But weak enough to lose it 
E                            Dsus2  A/C#  E 
He's a New World Man... 

E 
He's a radio receiver 
Tuned to factories and farms 
He's a writer and a ranger 
And a young boy bearing arms 

Gadd9 
He's got a problem with his power 
With weapons on patrol 
He's got to walk a fine line 
                   E 
And keep his self-control 

G                   C                     Am 
Trying to save the day for the Old World Man 
G                   C                      Am 
Trying to pave the way for the Third World Man 

E 
He's not concerned with yesterday 
He knows constant change is here today 
G                     C 
He's noble enough to know what's right 
    Am 
But weak enough not to choose it 
    G               Cm 
He's wise enough to win the world 
    Am 
But fool enough to lose it 
     E 
He's a New World Man...
