A Most Amazing Man (Original version)
From the work Songs of 1974
<<<Previous Song Next Song>>>
Composer: Roger D. Linder
Isn't he a most amazing man?
Isn't he a most amazing man?
He can chew gum and stand on his head
He can lay in the road and play dead
He can change the color of his hair to red
Yes, a most amazing man!
Yes, a most amazing man!
Isn't he a most amazing man?
Isn't he a most amazing man?
He can lie to your face and you wouldn't know
He'd be gone three months and you'd swear he didn't go
He can reveal himself yet nothing will show
What a most amazing man!
What a most amazing man!
Roll a stone away and you will find this man
Look next door and you may find him there
You may even find him in the mirror
Isn't he a most amazing man?
Isn't he a most amazing man?
He can chew gum and stand on his head
He can lay in the road and play dead
He can change the color of his hair to red
Yes, a most amazing man!
Yes, a most amazing man!
Commentary
Written February 4, 1974. This song has four different variations, two adapted for "Only Golden Fingers Could Play So Heavy" and one for "40 Days: Resurrection to Ascension." But this is the original.
The chord progression was inspired by Todd Rundgren's "International Feel."
