Words & Music by Johnny Mercer, Bernie Hanighen & Gordon JenkinsRecorded by Dinah Washington, 1959
Dalt G6 D9
Maybe he's not much,
Em7 Edim A7 Em7 Gdim F#7
Just another man, doing what he can
E7/9 E7/6 E7 A7/6 A7 A7/6 A7 A7/6 A7 F#7 B7
But what does she care when a wo - man loves a man?
Dalt G6 D9
She'll just string along
Em7 Edim A7 Em7 Gdim F#7
All through thick and thin till his ship comes in
E7/9 E7/6 E7 A7/6 A7 A7/6 A7 A7/6 A7 D G D
That's how it goes when a wo - man loves a man
Bridge:
D DM7 F#7 Gdim F#7 Gdim
She'll be the first one to praise him when he's goin' strong
B7 Cdim B7 B7/F#
The last one to blame him when ev - 'ry - thing is wrong
E7 B7 E7 Cdim
It's such a one-sided game that they play
Gdim Cdim A7
But women are funny that way.
Dalt G6 D9
Tell her she's a fool,
Em7 Edim A7 Em7 Gdim F#7
She'll say yes, I know, but I love him so
E7/9 E7/6 E7 A7/6 A7 A7/6 A7 A7/6 A7 D G D
That's how it goes when a wo - man loves a man.
