Verse 1
E
Now woman,
Em
D
don't you feel sad when you
E
Em
See your life go round
D
And you realise that
E
you've been drinking
G#
E
All of your years like wine?
Em
E
D
E
You're gambling with time and you
Em
Know you just can't win
D
But still you feel that somehow you've
A
E
Just got to keep on trying
Em
E
And woman, it's your heart,
D
E
I hear crying

Verse 2
E
Now the young man by your
D
A
Side is your husband,
E
Em
or so you say
D
A
In reality, he's a link with a past
E
Em
You just can't replace
E
You tell the world you're
D
happy when
A
E
You're lying in his arms
Em
D
Oh but his youth has made you

Hate to see his face
E
And woman, it's your heart,

D
E
Em
I see crying
E
Now you're standing like
D
some tree oh
A

And the blossom has blown away
D
And the last leaf has gone crumbling
A
Tumbling towards
E
Em
E
Em
the ground
E
Em
D
You have nothing to teach me
E
Just have nothing at all to say
Em
D
Except to keep on telling me about all the
A
Happiness that you do
E
Em
think you have found
E
And woman, it's your heart,
D
E
D
I hear crying
