ALWAYS A WOMAN                         Billy Joel

        G             C              G              C
She can kill with her smile, she can wound with her eyes,
                  F              C      F
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies,
        G      C              G            C    C/B(G?)
And she only reveals what she wants you to see,
    Am          G               F        G        C   F   C
She lies like a child but she's always a woman to me.
        G....
She can make you to love and she can take it or leave it,
She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe it,
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free,(C  F  C  C/B...)
Yes she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me.

Chorus:
    Am G D                      G G/F# Em
    Oh,    she takes care of herself,
                        F Em Dm         G           C  F  C  C/B
    She can wait if she wants,   she's ahead of her time.
    Am G D                     G G/F# Em
    Oh,    and she never gives out,
                        F Em D                      G e f...
    And she never gives in,    she just changes her mind.

           G....
And she'll promise you more than the Garden of Eden,
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleedin',
But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be,
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me.

(hum 2nd two lines of verse)

Chorus


She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cool,
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool,
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her Degree,

And the most she will do is throw shadows at you

    But she's always a woman to me.

   (hum)....
