Man Playing Scrabble

(To “Man Come into Egypt” by Peter, Paul & Mary)

Am - D - F E Am A7 / Dm - - - - F C E

There is a man who’s playing Scrabble, and it is his favorite game.

And when he saw the board before him, in his heart there burned a flame.

Am D G E Am F E - / Am - D - F E Am -

In his heart there burned a flame, oh Lord,

In his heart there burned a flame,

And when he saw the board before him, in his heart there burned a flame.

There is a man who’s playing Scrabble, he's beating you and me.

Now from his rack a word is springing, and the word is LIBERTY.

And the word is LIBERTY, oh Lord;

And the word is LIBERTY.

Now from his rack a word is springing, and the word is LIBERTY.

There is a man who’s playing Scrabble to stir the souls of men.

He uses all his seven tiles, and he hooks the Y for YEN.

And it’s on a Triple Score, oh Lord,

And it’s on a Triple Score!

It scores him six points and a hundred; we will never win again!
