– The song starts in C# or Db,
and then changes to D after the chorus,
you can play it all in D if you want.
VERSE:
When a [C#]man loves a [G#]woman
[A#m] Cant keep his [F#]mind on nothin else
[C#] Hed trade the [G#]world
For a good thing hes [C#] [G#]found
(same as before…)
If she is bad, he cant see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
Hed give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said thats the way
It ought to be
CHORUS:
[F#] When a man loves a [C#]woman
[F#] I give you everything I [C#]got (yeah)
[F#] Trying to hold on to
[C#]your [G#]precious [A#m]love
[F#]Baby, baby [D#]please don’t treat me [G#]bad
VERSE:
(Here it goes up to D)
When a [D]man loves a [A]woman
[Bm] Deep down in his [G]soul
[D] She can [A]bring him such [D] [A]misery
If she is playing him for a fool
Hes the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
LAST VERSE:
Yes when a [D]man loves a [A]woman
[Bm] I know exactly how he [G]feels
cause [G]baby, [A]baby, baby [A]uuuuuuuh
END:
When a [D]man loves a [A]woman
When a [Bm] [D]man [G]loves a [A]woman
[Bm] [G]
