10,000 Maniacs - I'm Not The Man Submitted By: Scruffy EMail: scruffin_it@hotmail.com 1993 'MTV unplugged album' My fave song off the album. If you use this transcription, or you have some comments, let me know! It's Andy - partisan_pl@yahoo.com. I usually transpose this into Am - it suits my voice better (and it's easier to play!). All you do is move everything up 4 frets. By the way, does anyone know the story behind this song? Intro | Ab Cm Fm Ab | Db | Db 1) Fm Db Eb Fm It crawls.... Fm Db Eb Stares at.... Fm breathe.
