(From the 1977 Album ME AND McDILL)
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D A D
He's in some bar a drinkin' she's home alone again
A D
He's in town buyin' rounds and laughin' with his friends
G
His supper's on the table still he ain't come home
D A D
She's lookin' out the window with a front porch light on.
[Chorus]
D A D
She's the woman in every man's life
A D
A candle in the window on the darkest night
G
A sister and a mother a lover and a wife
D A D
She's a woman in every man's life.
[Verse 2]
D A D
She's a standin' in the kitchen ironin' his shirt
A D
Tears fall on the collar like little drops of hurt
G
When he's spent his money he'll stumble home again
D A D
And she'll get out bed and turn on light and let him in.
[Chorus]
D A D
She's the woman in every man's life
A D
A candle in the window on the darkest night
G
A sister and a mother a lover and a wife
D A D
She's a woman in every man's life.
[Verse 3]
D A D
Somehow she defends him again and again
A D
She'll stand up to her mother and hide it from her friends
G
And somehow she forgives him for all he's guilty of
D A D
And that takes a lot of woman that takes a lot of love.
[Out-Chorus]
D A D
She's the woman in every man's life
A D
A candle in the window on the darkest night
G
A sister and a mother a lover and a wife
D A D
She's a woman in every man's life.
A D
She's the woman in every man's life
A D
A candle in the window on the darkest night
