When a Man Loves a Woman
Percy Sledge
(Capo on 1st fret)
C C/B Am7 C7/G F G C G 
C C/B Am C7/G
When a man loves a woman can't keep his mind on nothing else
F G C G
He'll trade the world for a good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it, she can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down

When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts and sleep out in the rain
F G C C7
If she said that's the way it ought to be

F C C7
Well, this man loves a woman
F C C7
I gave you everything I had
F C Am
Tryin' to hold on to your hot/cold love
D7 G G7
Baby, please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can never see

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

When a man loves a woman...
