[Intro]

[Verse]
G      C           G      Am
When a man loves a woman,    can't keep his mind on nothing else,
F                    G                    C                  G
    He'd trade the world,  for a good thing he's found,
G         C             G        Am
If she is bad, he can't see it,      she can do no wrong,
F                   G                          C              G
    Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
 

When a man loves a woman, he'll spend his very last dime.
Tryin to hold onto what he needs.
He'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain.
If she said that they way it ought to be.
[Bridge]
F                             C
    Well, this man loves you, woman,
C  B  A# F                           C
              I gave you everything I had,
C  B  A# F                         C                 Am  A     Am
              Trying to hold on to your high - class love,
D                                                      G
Ba - by,           plea - se,  don -'t treat me bad-------

[Verse]
C#          G#      A#m
When a man loves a woman,     down deep in his soul,
F#                G#               C#       G#
    She can bring him such    ....misery,
G#              C#                G#     A#m
     If she is playing him for a fool,    he's the last one to know,
F#              G#                    C#   G#
    Loving eyes   ...can    ...never see


When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl.
Yes, when a man loves a woman,
I know exactly how he feels.
Baby baby baby you're my world.

You're my world.
