(from "Mulan" soundtrack)
[Verse 1]
Em D G
Let's get down to business
Am D
To defeat the Huns.
Em D G
Did they send me daughters
Am D
When I asked for sons?
C D
You're the saddest bunch I've ever met,
G Em
But you can bet before we're through,
C D Em
Mister, I'll make a man out of you.
[Verse 2]
Em D G
Tranquil as a forest,
Am D
But on fire within.
Em D G
Once you find your center,
Am D
You are sure to win.
C D
You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot,
G Em
And you haven't got a clue.
C D Em
Somehow I'll make a man out of you.
[Bridge]
C D
I'm never gonna catch my breath.
B Em
Say goodbye to those who knew me.
D G C
Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym.
C D
This guy's got them scared to death.
B Em
Hope he doesn't see right through me.
D G C
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim.
[Chorus]
C D G Em
We must be swift as the coursing river,
C D B Em
With all the force of a great typhoon
C D G Em
With all the strength of a raging fire,
C D Em
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
[Verse 3]
Em D G
Time is racing toward us
Am D
Till the Huns arrive.
Em D G
Heed my every order,
Am D
And you might survive.
C D
You're unsuited for the rage of war,
G Em
So pack up, go home, you're through.
C D E
How could I make a man out of you?
[Chorus]
C D G Em
We must be swift as the coursing river,
C D B Em
With all the force of a great typhoon,
C D G Em
With all the strength of a raging fire,
C D Em
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
