A Man's Gotta Do (Reprise):
Sorry formats not my favorite, I'm new to this dueling lyric writing
| Captain Hammerman | Penny | Dr. Horrible |
Fm Bb Cm A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do |
You came from above |
Are you kidding? |
Fm Bb Cm It seems destiny, ends with me saving you |
I wonder what you're captain of |
What heist were you watching? Stop looking at her like that! |
Fm Bb Cm When you're the best, you can't rest, what's the use |
My heart is beating like a drum |
Did you notice that he threw you in the garbage? |
Fm Bb Cm There's ass needs kicking, some ticking bomb to defuse |
(I Must be in shock)? |
I stopped the van The remote control was in my hand |
Fm Bb Cm The only doom that's looming is you loving me to death |
Assuming I'm not loving you to death |
Whatever |
Ab Bb Eb So please give me a sec to catch my breath |

Balls. |

Lyrics
Thank you so much for this.
Typo
Yes, I'm sorry. No matter how much everyone appreciates what you're doing, some jerk's going to point out the typo.
I figure it might as well be me.
So, uh, on Hammer's part, "some ticking bomb to difuse." It's spelled Diffuse.
Although, you don't "diffuse"
Although, you don't "diffuse" a bomb. You "defuse" it. Diffuse is something else entirely.
thanks. A great song and
thanks. A great song and awesome for practicing bar chords too.

Musical theatre performers and writers should all be inspired by this project.

my idea
I would play the Captain Hammer part like this:
Eb
Stand back everyone
Fm Cm
Nothing here to see
Db
Just imminent danger
Ab Bb
And in the middle of it me
sounds more full and I think it sounds more like the song it self
(I'm trying to find all the right chords because me and my partners are planning on putting this on stage as a musical :P)
