[F] [D] [Db]
[E] [Cm] It cost me a [Ab] lot, but [Eb] there's one thing [Cm] that I've [Gm] got.
It's [Fm] my [G] man.
[B] It's [Gb] my [Dm] man.
[G] Cold or wet, tied [Bb] or bare, all of this I'll soon [G] forget.
With [Eb] my man, [Cm]
[G] [Gm] he's not much on [Ab] looks.
He's [A] no hero out of [Gm] both, but I [Bb] love him.
[G]
Yes, [B] [Gb] I love [Dm] him.
[Gm] [Dm] [G] Two or three girls [Bb] I see that he likes as [Ab] well [G] as me.
[Eb] But I love him.
I don't [Gm] know why I should.
[A] He [Bb] isn't true.
He beats [Ab] me too.
What can I [G] do?
[Bb] Oh, my man, I [Eb] love him so.
[Ab]
He'll [A] never know.
[F] [Cm] All my life is just [Eb] despair.
[Bb]
But I [Eb] don't care [Bb] when he takes me in his [Fm] arms.
[Bb] The [Fm] world is [Bb] bright.
[Gm] All right.
[Bb] [Fm]
[Ebm] What's the difference if I [Cm] say [Dm] I'll [Abm] go away
[G]
when I know [Ab] I'll come back on [Abm]
my [Db] knees someday?
[F]
For whatever my [Gm] man [Eb] is, [Gm]
[C] I'm his
[Dm] [Bb]
forevermore.
