[Cm]
[D] [G]
It
[C] cost me [Ab] life, [C] but there's [Cm] one thing [Dm] that I've [Eb] got, it's [Cm] my [D] man, it's my [G] man.
Cold or wet, tired [D] you bet, [G] all of this I'll soon [D]
forget [G] with [C]
my [Cm] man.
He's not much [Ab] on looks, [C]
he's no [Cm] hero,
[G] out of [Eb] ball, but I [D] love him.
Yes, I [G] love him, two or three
[Gm] girls has [D]
he, [G] that he likes [Cm] as well [Fm] as me, [G]
but I [Cm] love him.
[C] I [Cm] don't know why I [G] should, [F] [Cm]
he isn't [Bb] true, he [Db] beats me [Ab] too, what [G]
can I do?
Oh my man, I love [Eb] him so, [Bb] he'll never [Ab] know, [Eb] all my life is [Fm] just [Bb] despair,
[Ab] but I don't care.
[Bb]
When he takes [D] me in [Fm] his arms, the [Am]
[Fm] world is bright, [Bb]
[Eb] alright.
[Cm]
[C]
What's [Em] the difference if [Eb] I say, [Ab]
I'll [Bbm] go away, [Cm] when I know [Db] I'll come [Ab] back on my [A] knees [Eb]
someday.
For whatever my [Bb] man [Eb] is, I'm [Cm] his [Dm]
[Fm] [Bb]
[G] forevermore.
[Ab] [Gm]
[Dbm] [Fm] [E] [Eb]
