E5                          A5
I didn't mean to make this hard on you 

E5                        A5
I'm sorry that I brought you down 

E5                                 A5
But don't you know I get a little lost sometimes 

E5                     A5
With all these people hanging around 

F#5                    B5                  B5
And I know sometimes I feel like giving in 

F#5                        B5
But honey could you please hold on a little bit 
   E5   A5 B5
Oh woman be strong 

E5   A5  B5                             E5  A5  B5  B5
Woman, Woman won't you be strong now 

E5                          A5
I'm sorry that I, I always made you cry 

E5               A5
I wish I hadn't cracked the wall 

E5                       A5
And every time I stop to think of you 

E5                           A5
I wish I'd been man enough to call 

F#5              B5             B5
Yes, I know it's hard sometimes 

F#5                       B5
Putting up with these old wicked ways of mine 

   E5   A5  B5
Oh woman, be strong 

E5    A5 B5
Woman, be strong 

    A5               B5              E5  A5  B5
Oh, woman won't you be strong now 

C#5                                  Ab5
It would be better if you would just walk away 

C#5
But honey don't you know that I 

D5
I want you 

D5
I need you 

B5                         E5  A5  B5
to stay, stay, stay, stay 

               E5  A5  B5
Baby won't you stay
