Intro:
G - A - C - D - G
Verse 1:
G
I was sittin' with him on his front porch swing
A
Soakin' up wisdom and Grandma's sweet tea
C G
Listenin' to his stories; man, he'd done it all
His tour in the army in his wilder days
A
Raisin' my daddy and bailin' his hay
C G
He cut off a twist of tobacco and stuck it in his jaw
Am Bm C G
Cocked back his hat with a sideways grin and gave me that old wink
Am Bm C D
He said, "I can tell you somethin' 'bout most anything
Chorus:
C
But don't ask me 'bout a woman
G
All I know is boy, they're somethin'
Am
They're tender and they're tough
D
Can break you down and lift you up
C
Don't ask me 'bout a woman
G F#m Em
That's some complicated stuff
Am D
They ain't made to figure out
G
They're just made to love"
Verse 2:
G
He said, "Boy, I've lived nearly eighty years
A
There's a lot of know-how between these ears
C G
But when it comes to your grandma, I'm still your age
It took me a long, long time to learn
A
Lovin' a woman is full of left turns
C G
The more they change, the more they stay the same
Am Bm C Bm Am
Son, it's been that way since the beginning of time
Bm C D
We're behind the wheel, but just along for the ride"
Chorus:
C
But don't ask me 'bout a woman
G
All I know is boy, they're somethin'
Am
They're tender and they're tough
D
Can break you down and lift you up
C
Don't ask me 'bout a woman
G F#m Em
That's some complicated stuff
Am D
They ain't made to figure out
G
They're just made to love"
Bridge:
C
Fast forward ten years, it's Saturday night
Bm
She's changed three times, says her hair ain't right
C
My mind reels back to the time and place
Am D
When I heard my grandpa say
C
Don't ask me 'bout a woman
G
All I know is boy, they're somethin'
Am
They're tender and they're tough
D
Can break you down and lift you up
C
Don't ask me 'bout a woman
G F#m Em
That's some complicated stuff
Am D
They ain't made to figure out
G
They're just made to love"
Am D
Now I know what he's talkin' about
They're just made to love
Outro: G - A - C - D - G
