  The Measure of a Man
  
                G
  You may never buy me a big house,
                                            A
  A Cadillac to cruise in with the top down,
                        G
  That ain't the way I am.
  
  I judge a man by the gold on the inside,
                                               A  D
  I'm not fooled by the glitter on the outside,
                              G
  That ain't the measure of a man.
  
  
  Chorus:
                       A
  It's not how far you go,
                        G
  It's not how much you make. 
                       D
  Boy it's what you've give,
               G
  Not what you take.
                        A
  It's being strong and true,
                       G
  To those counting on you.
                 A              D
  It's lending a hand, making a stand,
             D            G
  That's the measure of a man.
  
  
  Give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.
  Stand behind every word you say.
  Seal a deal with a shake of your hand.
  If you're a few rungs short of the top of the ladder,
  When you meet your Maker what will it matter?
  That ain't the measure of a man.
  
  Chorus
  
  It's lending a hand, making a stand,
  That's the measure of a man.
