Biography:
Leo Sayer (born Gerard Hugh Sayer, 21 May 1948) is a British-born singer-songwriter musician, and entertainer (now an Australian citizen and resident) whose singing career has spanned four decades.
Sayer launched his career in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s, and became a top singles and album act on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1970s. His first seven hit singles in the United Kingdom all reached the Top 10 – a feat first registered by his first manager, Adam Faith.

One Man Band
Leo Sayer
C Am
Well everybody knows down ladbrook grove
Dm F
You have to leap across the street
G Em
You can lose your life under a taxi cab
F C
You gotta have eyes in your feet
C Am
You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down
Dm F
Take up your guitar and play
G Em
But then the law man comes says move along
F C
So you move along all day
(Personally I would put the last part of the second verse here too, it's very effective)
(NC) C
Well Im a one man band
Am Dm
Nobody knows nor understands
G F
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
C
With my one man band
(same first verse chords)
For three days now I havent eaten at all
My my you must be getting so thin
And soon my cap wont be large enough
To drop a half a crown in
So hey there mister dont you look so sad
Dont look so ill at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well Im a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
F F* Dm F
And oh oh oh look at the rain falling
F F* Dm G
Oh oh oh look at it rain
C
Oh look at it rain
Well nobody sees the minstrel boy as he sings his tale of woe
Nobody sees him coming
Nobody see him go
So hey there mister dont you look so sad
Dont look so ill at ease
Well I can play you any song you like
To cheer up that life you lead
Well Im a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
Well Im a one man band
Nobody knows nor understands
Is there anybody out there wanna lend me a hand
With my one man band
Oh Im a one man band
Just a one man band
Oh Im a one man band

It can also easily be played in G, but this is Leo's key.
If you choose G the drop at the Rain bit is a simple run down to Am.
But C has more feeling and character.
