C                            G 
Sometimes it's hard to be a woman, 
Dm               G7               C 
Giving all your love to just one man. 
  F                        C 
You?ll have bad times, and he?ll have good times, 
D                     D7          G        G7 
Doing things that you don't understand. 
 
C                             G 
But if you love him you?ll forgive him, 
Dm               G7            C 
Even though he?s hard to understand. 
F                    C               F  
And if you love him, oh, be proud of him, 
  C              G7          C      F    C   G 
´cause after all he?s just a man. 
 
C             E7   F                       Em    Dm 
Stand by your man;    give him two arms to cling to, 
C             A7 
And something warm to come to, 
D                    G          G7 
When the nights are cold and lonely; 
C             E7        F                  Em  Dm 
Stand by your man, and tell the world you love him, 
C           G7               E7   A   F        G       C     F  C  G 
Keep giving all the love you can;        stand by your man. 
 
 
C             E7       F                   Em  Dm 
Stand by your man, and tell the world you love him, 
C           G            G7  E7   A  F         G       C     F  C  G7  C 
Keep giving all the love you can;      stand,  by your man.
