Introduction on Verse
If [[G]] you were the [[Em]] woman and [[C]] I was the [[D]] man
Would I [[G]] send you yellow [[Em]] roses,
Would I [[C]] dare to kiss your [[D7]] hand?
In the [[Em]] morning would I ca[[Am]]ress you
As the [[C]] wind caresses the [[D7]] sand,
If [[C]] you were the [[Am]] woman and [[D]] I was the [[G]] man?
If [[G]] I was the [[Em]] heart and [[C]] you were the [[D]] head
Would you [[G]] think me very [[Em]] foolish
If one [[C]] day I decided to [[D7]] shed
These [[Em]] walls that sur[[Am]]round me
Just to [[C]] see where these feelings [[D7]] led,
If [[C]] I was the [[Am]] heart and [[D]] you were the [[G]] head?
[[Am7]] [[Bm]] [[Cm]] [[Bm]]
[[Am7]] [[Bm]] [[Am]] [[G]]
If [[G]] I was the [[Em]] woman and [[C]] you were the [[D]] man
Would I [[G]] laugh if you [[Em]] came to me
With your [[C]] heart in your [[D7]] hand
And said, I [[Em]] offer you this [[Am]] freely
And will [[C]] give you all that I [[D7]] can
Because [[C]] you are the [[Am]] woman
And [[D]] I am the [[G]] man?
