[Cm]
[F]
[Ab]
[G]
[Cm]
I'm a woman.
[F] I'm a woman.
[Cm]
I'm a [F] woman.
I'm a [Ab] woman.
[G]
[Cm] What makes a man [Gm] [Cm]
break up [Gm] inside?
[Fm]
And what makes a man give
[G] up his pride?
[Cm] What makes a [Gm] man [Cm] feel [Gm] he's begun to fail?
[Fm] And when he can't win,
[G] he thinks he's in jail.
Tell [Cm] me.
I'm a woman.
Say it again.
I'm a woman.
Say it [F] again.
I'm a woman.
[G] I'm a woman.
What [Cm] makes men [Gm]
[Cm] jealous of each [Gm] other?
[Fm] Sometimes turn [G] against his brother.
[Bb]
Now here's the [Gm] reason.
[Eb] [Bb]
She makes a [Cm] cloudy day seem
[Eb] bright.
[Ab]
[Bb] She makes [Eb] a nightmare turn [Bb] into the warmest [Eb] night.
You [Bb] know, [Cm] she makes trouble seem [Eb] so soft.
[Fm]
[Bb] She can turn to hardship, [Eb] and she makes it [Bb] so easy to cross.
[Eb]
[Gm] She brings [Cm] life into the world
[Eb] over and [Ab] over again.
[Bb] No man in the [Eb] world could [G] ever bear those pains.
[Cm]
She never lets you know when she feels bad, [F]
and she smiles when she feels [Ab] sad.
And when you [G] feel blue, she knows that place [Cm] right beside you.
Right beside you.
[F]
And I want to [G] know, [Cm] what makes men [Gm] [Cm] stop tiring?
[Gm] [Ab]
And who's the only [Fm] one can [G]
stop a baby from crying?
[Bm] [Cm] The [Gm] Supreme Being [Cm]
will [Gm] always beat you in our sin.
[Fm]
The Supreme Being will always beat you in our sin.
[G]
Because he [Cm]
knows [B]
he made [Eb]
you [F]
lonely.
[Ab]
So he decided to [Gm]
[G] make a woman [Cm] so you [F]
[G] wouldn't be lonely.
[Cm]
I [F]
want to stop right here.
I [Eb]
want to say a woman's prayer right here.
Thank [F]
you for being such a bright shining star.
[Cm]
And thank you for being [F]
as wonderful as you are.
[Eb]
[Cm] I [F]
got a good woman.
Every [Cm]
man, every [F] man, not what it needs, but it got to have a woman.
[Eb]
My mother was a woman, [F] and she still is.
That's who it is, she is.
[Cm] [F]
[A] [Cm]
