E                          A
I didn't mean to make this hard on you 

E                        A
I'm sorry that I brought you down 

E                                 A
But don't you know I get a little lost sometimes 

E                     A
With all these people hanging around 

F#m                    B                  B4
And I know sometimes I feel like giving in 

F#m                        B
But honey could you please hold on a little bit 
   E   A B
Oh woman be strong 

E   A  B                             E  A  B  B4
Woman, Woman won't you be strong now 

E                          A
I'm sorry that I, I always made you cry 

E               A
I wish I hadn't cracked the wall 

E                       A
And every time I stop to think of you 

E                           A
I wish I'd been man enough to call 

F#m              B             B4
Yes, I know it's hard sometimes 

F#m                       B
Putting up with these old wicked ways of mine 

   E   A  B
Oh woman, be strong 

E    A B
Woman, be strong 

    A               B              E  A  B
Oh, woman won't you be strong now 

C#m                                  Abm
It would be better if you would just walk away 

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

D
I want you 

D
I need you 

B                         E  A  B
to stay, stay, stay, stay 

               E  A  B
Baby won't you stay
