Intro: Db Ab Bbm Ab Gb Ab7 Db  Ab

Verse:
       Db           Ab    Bbm                    Ab
When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else
Gb               Ab7                       Db           Ab
He'd change the world, for the good thing he's found
         Db             Ab     Bbm              Ab
If she's bad, he can't see it, she can do no wrong,
Gb                    Ab7                Db            Ab
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down


       Db           Ab    Bbm                Ab
When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
Gb              Ab7            Db    Ab
Trying to hold on to what he needs
             Db          Ab       Bbm                     Ab
He'd give up all of his comforts, and sleep out in the rain
Gb                      Ab7              Db  Db7
If she says that's the way it ought to be

Chorus:
Gb                        Db    Db7
Well this man loves you, woman
Gb                          Db  Db7
I'll give you everything I can
Gb                    Db    Ab          Bbm
Trying to hold on to your high class love
Eb7                          Ab  Ab7
Baby, please don't treat me bad

Verse:
       Db           Ab    Bbm                 Ab
When a man loves a woman, deep down in his soul,
Gb             Ab7            Db     Ab
She can bring him such misery
       Db               Ab   Bbm               Ab
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Gb      Ab7             Db  Ab
Loving eyes can never see


       Db           Ab    Bbm              Ab
When a man loves a woman, he can do her no wrong,
Gb            Ab7           Db  Ab
He can never hold another girl
            Db           Ab    Bbm               Ab
Yes, when a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels
Gb            Ab7               Db   Ab
'Cause baby, baby, you are my girl

Outro:
       Db           Ab    Bbm

Biography

Percy Sledge (born 25 November 1941 in Leighton, Alabama; died 14 April 2015 in Baton Rouge) was an American R&B and soul performer who most notably recorded the single “When a Man Loves a Woman” in 1966, an international top 40 hit that the RIAA has certified as gold. Having achieved his best successes in the mid-to-late 60s and early 70s with a series of emotional soul songs, in his later years he received the Rhythm and Blues Foundation’s Career Achievement Award and was inducted in 2005 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
