When a Man Loves a Woman
Percy Sledge
key of C (probably not the record's key)
intro
/
verse1 When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found
/
If she's bad he can't see it she can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
verse2 When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be
chorus Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
/
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad
verse3 When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes don't ever see
chorus
/
outro When a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels
(repeat outro until tired)
Coz baby baby baby you're my world
