Standard (EADGBE)

I didn't mean to make this hard on you

I'm sorry that I brought you down

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

With all these people hanging around

And I know sometimes I feel like giving in

But honey could you please hold on a little bit

 Oh woman be strong

Woman, Woman won't you be strong now

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

I wish I hadn't cracked the wall

And every time I stop to think of you

I wish I'd been man enough to call

Yes, I know it's hard sometimes

Putting up with these old wicked ways of mine

 Oh woman, be strong

Woman, be strong

 Oh, woman won't you be strong now

It would be better if you would just walk away

But honey don't you know that I

I want you

I need you

to stay, stay, stay, stay

 Baby won't you stay

(x2) Guitar Solo

 Woman won't you be strong

 Woman won't you be strong

 Woman won't you please be strong

be strong... (repeat, improv)
