She's Always A Woman

Words & Music:

Billy Joel

A    Asus4    A    E    A    D/A    A

 

        E           A              E              A

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes.

                  D              DM7/C# D6/B  D

She can ruin your faith with her casual lies.

         E7    A              E            C#

And she only reveals what she wants you to see,

    F#m          F#m/E            D        E7       A  Asus4  A

She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me.

She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you.

She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe you.

And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free.

    F#m           F#m/E           D6       E7       A  Asus4  A  A/G#

She steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me.

 

F#m F#m/E B7/D#         B7/B       E  E/D# C#m           A           D  D/C# Bm

Oh ---------- she takes care of herself -------, she can wait if she wants,

Bm      E7         A  D/A  A

She's ahead of her time.

Am  Am/G  F#m        D           G  G/F# Em        C6          F  F/E

Oh --------, and she never gives out------ and she never gives in

Db7       B7         E  E6  E7

She just changes her mind.

 

And she'll promise you more than the Garden of Eden.

Then she'll carelessly cut you & laugh while you're bleeding.

But she brings out the best & the worst you can be.

Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me.

E   A   E   C#   F#m  F#m/E  D6   E7   A   Asus4   A   A/G#

Hmmm------------------------------------------------------.

 

Oh, she takes care of herself, she can wait if she wants,

She's ahead of her time.

Oh, and she never gives out, and she never gives in,

She just changes her mind.

 

       E7         A               E        A

She is frequently kind and she is suddenly cruel. 

                  D              DM7       D6      D

She can do as she pleases; she's nobody's fool.

        E7          A             E7           C#

But she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree.

        F#m           F#m/E       D          A

And the most she will do is throw shadows at you

          Bm       E7       A  Asus4 E

But she's always a woman to me.

E   A   E   C#   F#m  F#m/E  D6   E7   A   Asus4   A

Hmmm-------------------------------------------------------.
