She’s Always A Woman (chromatic)

By: Billy Joel
Key: Eb

-2 -2 -2 3 -3* 3
She can kill with a smile
-2 -1* -2 3 -3* 3
She can wound with her eyes
-3* -3* -3* 4 -5* 4
She can ru-in your faith
-3* 3* -3* 4 -5* 4
with her cas-u-al lies
-2 -2 -2 3 -3* 3
And she on-ly re-veals
-2 -1* -2 3 -3* 3
what she wants you to see
-2 -2 -1* 3 -2
She hides like a child
-1* 3 -2 -1* 3 -2 -1* -1-1*
But she’s al-ways a wom-an to me

-2 -2 -2 3 -3* 3
She can lead you to love
-2 -1* -2 3 -3* 3 -1*
She can take you or leave you
-3* -3* -3* 4 -5* 4
She can ask for the truth
-3* 3* -3* 4 -5* 4 -3*
But she’ll nev-er be-lieve you
-2 -2 -2 3 -3* 3 -2
And she’ll take what you give her
-1* -2 3 -3* 3
as long as it’s free
-2 -2 -2 -1* 3 -2
yeah, she steals like a thief
-1* 3 -2 -1* 3 -2 -1* -1 -1*
But she’s al-ways a wom-an to me

-5* 5 -5 -5* -6 5 -5
Oh, she takes care of her-self
-3* 5 -5 -5* -3* 4
She can wait if she wants
3* -3* 4 -3* 3* -3*
She’s a-head of her time
-6* -5* -6 -6* 7* -5* -6
Oh, and she nev-er gives out
5* -5* -6 -6* 5* -5*
And she nev-er gives in
5 -5 -5* -5 4 -3*
She just chang-es her mind

-2 -2 -2 3 -3* 3
And she’ll prom-ise you more
-2 -1* -2 3 -3* 3-2-1*
Than the Gar-den of Ed-en
-3* -3* -3* 4 -5* 4 -3*
Then she’ll care-less-ly cut you
3* -3* 4 -5* 4 -3*
And laugh while you’re bleed-in’
-2 -2 -2 3 -3* 3
But she’ll bring out the best
-2 -1* -2 3 -3* 3
And the worst you can be
3 3 -2 -1* 3 -2
Blame it all on your-self
-1* 3 -2 -1* 3 -2 -1* -1 -1*
Cause she’s al-ways a wom-an to me
-2-23-3* 3-2-23-3*3 3
(Hum) (Hum)

-5* 5 -5 -5* -6 5 -5
Oh, she takes care of her-self
-3* 5 -5 -5* -3* 4
She can wait if she wants
3* -3* 4 -3* 3* -3*
She’s a-head of her time
-6* -5* -6 -6* 7* -5* -6
Oh, and she nev-er gives out
5* -5* -6 -6* 5* -5*
And she nev-er gives in
5 -5 -5* -5 4 -3*
She just chang-es her mind

-2 -2 -2 3 -3* 3
She is fre-quent-ly kind
-2 -1* -2 3 -3* 3-2-1*
And she’s sud-den-ly cru-el
-3* -3* -3* 4 -5* 4 -3*
She can do as she pleas-es
3* -3* 4 -5* 4
She’s no-bod-y’s fool
-2 -2 -2 3 -3* 3 -2
But she can’t be con-vict-ed
-1* -2 3 -3* 3
She’s earned her de-gree
3 3 4 -3* -3* -3*
And the most she will do
-3* -5* 4 -3* 3 -2
Is throw shad-ows at you
-1* 3 -2 -1* 3 -2 -1* -1 -1*
But she’s al-ways a wom-an to me
-2-23-3* 3-23-3* 3
(Hum) (Hum)
