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


2. 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 comfort, sleep out in the rain 
If she said that's the way it ought to be

Refrain:

F           G            C 
Well, this man loves a woman 
F          G            C
I gave you everything I had 
F          G         C    E7/B     Am
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love 
D7                          F/G   G 
Baby, please don't treat me bad

3. 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 don't ever see

Refrain
       C           G/B    Am                       C7/G 
When a man loves a woman,    I know exactly how he feels
    F          G              C     G   
Coz baby baby baby you're my world
