Songtext

[Intro]
| Db | Ab/C | Bbm | Bbm/Ab |
| Gb | Ab   | Db  |

[Verse 1]
Ab     Db            Ab/C
  When a man loves a woman,
Bbm                   Bbm/Ab
   Can't keep his mind      on nothin' else,
Gb                     Ab                  Db
  He'd change the world  for the good thing  he's found.
Ab          Db            Ab/C
  If she is bad, he can't see it,
Bbm             Bbm/Ab
   She can do no      wrong,
Gb              Ab                       Db
  Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down.

[Verse 2]
Ab       Db          Ab/C
  When a man loves a woman,
Bbm                  Bbm/Ab
   He'll spend his very    last dime
Gb              Ab           Db
  Tryin' to hold  on to what he needs.
Ab             Db      Ab/C
  He'd give up all his comforts
Bbm                     Bbm/Ab
   And sleep out in the rain, 
Gb            Ab
  If she said that's the way
        Db     Ab
It ought  to be

[Bridge]
Gb                    Db
  Well, this man loves  you, woman.
Gb                       Db
  I gave you everything I  have,
Gb                     Db            Bbm
  Tryin' to hold on to your heartless   love.
Eb                          Ab
Baby, please don't treat me bad.

[Verse 3]
       Db          Ab/C
When a man loves a woman,
Bbm                Bbm/Ab
   Down deep in his      soul,
Gb             Ab           Db
  She can bring  him such misery.
Ab          Db              Ab/C
  If she is playin' him for a   fool,
Bbm                 Bbm/Ab
   He's the last one      to know.
Gb           Ab      Db
  Lovin' eyes  can never see

[Verse 4]
Ab       Db          Ab/C
  When a man loves a woman
Bbm              Bbm/Ab
   He can do her no    wrong,
Gb             Ab
  He can never hug
       Db
Some other girl
Ab            Db          Ab/C
  Yes, When a man loves a woman
Bbm            Bbm/Ab
   I know exactly    how he feels,

[Fade Out]
Gb            Ab             Db
  Baby, baby, baby, you're my  world
Ab       Db          Ab/C
  When a man loves a woman...
