Verse 1
D
B
E
A

I find the moment I let a woman make friends with me, she becomes jealous,

exacting, suspicious and a damn nuisance.

I find the moment that I make friends with a woman,
D
C#

I become selfish and tyrannical.
F#m
B

So here I am, confirmed old bach
D
A

elor and likely to remain so.

After all,
D

Pickering, I'm an ordinary man,
A

Who desires nothing more than

just the ordinary chance
Aaug
D
C#

To live exactly as he likes and
F#m

do precisely what he wants
B
D

An average man of mine,
Bm
A

of no eccentric will
B
F#dim

Who likes to live his life free of strife
F#m
B

Doing whatever he
A

thinks is best for him
E
A

Just an ordinary man
D

But, let a woman in your life,

and your serenity is through.
G
A

She'll redecorate your home
G

from the cellar to the dome,
Dm

then go on to the enthralling fun
Ddim
A
Bbdim
A

of overhauling you.
D

Oh, let a woman in your life,
Bm

and you're up against a wall.
A

Make a plan and you will find she has

something else in mind,

and so rather than do either,

you do something else
D

that neither likes at all.

If you want to talk of
C

Keats or
D

Milton,
Gsus4

she only wants to talk of love.
D
E

You go to see a play or ballet

and spend it searching for her glove.
A
D

Or let a wo man in your life
Bm
E

and invite eternal strife.
A

Let them buy their wedding bands
C

for those anxious little hands.
D

I'd be equally as willing

for a dentist to be drilling,
F#m
E
D
Bm
E

than to ever let a wo man in my life.
A

I'm a very gentle man, even -tempered and good -natured,

whom you never hear complain,
Aaug
D

who has the milk of human kind
C#
F#m

ness by the quart in every vein.
B
D

A patient man am
Bm
A

I, down to my fingertips,
B

the sort who never could, ever would,
F#dim
B

Let an insulting remark
A
E

escape his lips.
A

He's a very gentle man.
D

But let a woman in your life
E

Patience hasn't got a chance.
G
A

She will beg you for advice,

your reply will be concise,

and she'll listen very nicely,
D
Bbaug
D

then go out and do precisely what she wants.
C
D

You are a man of grace and polish,
Gsus4

Who never spoke above a hush
G
E
D
E

Now all at once you're using language

That would make a sailor blush
A
D

Oh, let a woman in your life
G

And you're plunging in a knife
E
A

Let the others of my sex
C

Tie the knot around their necks
D

I'd prefer a new edition

Of the

Spanish

Inquisition
E
A
D
B
E

Than to ever let a woman in my life
A

I'm a quiet living man who prefers to spend

the evenings in the silence of his
D
C#
A
B

room, who likes an atmosphere as restful as an undiscovered tomb,
D

a pensive man
Bm
A
B

of mine, of philosophic joys, who likes to meditate,
F#dim
B

contemplate, free from
E
A
E

Humanity's mad in human noise.
A

Just a quiet living room.
D

But let a woman in your life,
E

And your sabbatical is through.
G
A

In a line that never ends,

Come an army of her friends,

Come to jab her and to chatter,

And to tell her what the
D
B

matter is with you.
D
B

She'll have a booming,
D

boisterous family,
G

Who will descend on you en masse?
E

She'll have a large

Wagnerian mother
B
E
A

With a voice that shatters glass!
D

Oh, let a woman in your life!
E

Let a woman in your life!
B
E
B

Let a woman in your life!

I shall never let a

woman in my life.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
