^{Key: :[Db] (w: Calvin Lewis, Andrew Wright)}

INTRO: [Db] [Ab/C] [Bbm7] [Bbm/Ab] [F#] [Ab] [Db] [Ab6]

VERSE 1:
When a [Db] man loves a [Ab/C] woman,
[Bbm] can't keep his mind on [Db7/Ab] nothing else
[F#] He'll trade the [Ab] world for the good thing he's [Db] found [Ab]
If she's [Db] bad he can't [Ab/C] see it [Bbm] she can do no [Db7/Ab] wrong
[F#] Turn his back on his [Ab] best friend if he put her [Db] down [Ab]

VERSE 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

BRIDGE:
[F#] Well, this [Ab] man loves a [Db] woman
[F#] I gave you [Ab] everything I [Db] had
[F#] Tryin' to [Ab] hold on to [Db] your [F7/C] precious [Bbm] love
[Eb7] Baby, please don't treat me [F#/Ab] bad [Ab+5]

VERSE 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
