A                         E          Bm 
Sometimes it's hard to be   a woman  
                E       A               D 
givin' all your love to   just one man 
                      A                           Bm 
you'll have bad times   and he'll have good times 
                                 E      A 
doin' things that you don't understand 
                            E              Bm 
But if you love him, you'll   forgive him 
                 E            A     A7 D 
Even though he's hard to understand 
                     A              D       A 
And if you love him,   aww be proud of him 
            E            A       D A E A 
Cause after all, he's just a man 
 
*Chorus* 
A             C#   D 
Stand by your man 
                               A 
Give him two arms to cling to 
              F#              B                 E                A 
and somethin' warm to come to   when nights are cold and lonely 
              C#  D 
stand by your man 
                                A 
and show the world you love him 
            E                C#  F#  D 
Keep givin' all the love you can 
      E       A   D A E A 
stand by your man 
              C#  D 
stand by your man 
                                A 
and show the world you love him 
            E                C#  F# D 
keep givin' all the love you can 
      E       A     D A D E A 
stand by your   man
