Verse:
        C           G    Am                               C
 When a man loves a woman, canʼt keep his mind on nothing else.
 F               G7                              C    G
 Heʼd change the world, for the good things heʼs found.
          C             G     Am              C
 If sheʼs bad, he canʼt see it, she can do no wrong.
 F                    G7                        C   G
 Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down.

        C           G    Am                    C
 When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime,
 F              G7            C    G
 trying to hold on to what he needs.
              C          G       Am                     C
 Heʼd give up all of his comforts, and sleep out in the rain,
 F                      G7              C  C7
 if she says thatʼs the way it ought to be.

Bridge:
 F                       C    C7
 Well this man loves you woman
 F                     C  C7
 Give you everything I can,
 F                    C    G          Am
 trying to hold on to your high class love.
 D7                          G  G7
 Baby, please donʼt treat me bad.

Verse:
        C           G    Am                 C
 When a man loves a woman, deep down in his soul,
 F       G7             C     G
 she can bring him such misery.
        C               G   Am                     C
 If she plays him for a fool, heʼs the last one to know.
 F      G7             C  G
 Loving eyes can never see.

        C           G    Am              C
 When a man loves a woman, she can do no wrong,
 F            G7           C  G
 he can never look another girl.
             C           G    Am                      C
 Yes, when a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels,
 F           G7             C   G
ʼCause baby, baby, youʼre my girl.

        C           G    Am
 When a man loves a woman . . .
