WOMAN
by John Lennon 

// Standard tuning, use capo on first freet
// All notes are relative to the capo, 
// I mean D with capo is really Eb


    Dsus  D   G   D   x2
         (For the other half of the sky) 

 D   Em      D/F#       Em
Woman I can hardly express
D         Bm             Em            Asus - A
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
G     Em        F#m              Asus - A
After all I'm forever in your debt
     D   Em      D/F#        Em
And woman I will try to express
D         Bm         Em            Asus - A 
My inner feelings and thankfulness
G     Em        F#m              Asus - A
For showing me the meaning of success 

Dmaj7/9  Bm      Em      
Oooooooooooh,well, well
A6
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo   x2

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside of the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars 

Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Well 

// Tone goes up half step
// What I do is to move my capo to the second 
// freet and go on playing the same, but you 
// can play this without moving your capo:

 Eb  Fm       Eb/F      Fm
Woman please let me explain
Eb        Cm              Fm            Bbsus - Bb
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
G#        Fm         Gm               Bbsus - Bb
So let me tell you again and again and again 

Ebmaj7/9  Cm      Fm      
I love you, yeah, yeah
Bb6
Now and forever
