Tonart: Eb major•

Ladies and gentlemen,
Eb

Eb
in as much as it did n't
make the top 20
or anything like that,
but it was a song written for me,
I'm very happy to say, by one
Gb
gentleman
Fm
whose name you've already heard,
Mr Don Black,
Eb
and his partner Mr Vic Lewis.
It's not, as I say, a pop song,
it's more a soliloquy,
Abm
in as much as that it tells
Abm
who suddenly realizes
Gm
that he's not as young as
he used to be.
Eb
It's called very simply,
When You Become a Man.
