Gm7
  Oh, pretty woman, she's the rising sun,

              Gm7
says all your cheap paint and powder ain't gonna help you none.

               Gm7
'Cause she's a pretty woman right down to the bone,

            Gm7
so you just might as well still leave your skin alone.

[Chorus]

       C7                            Gm7
Pretty woman, what's the matter with you,

               D7                         G7*
can't make you love me,  no matter what I do?

[Verse 2]

Gm7
  Oh, pretty woman, what you trying to do,

            Gm7
you kept on foolin' around till I got stuck on you?

            Gm7
So you just drop that mess and come down off your throne,

           Gm7
stop using my poor heart as a stepping stone.

[Chorus]

       C7                            Gm7
Pretty woman, what's the matter with you,

               D7                         G7*
can't make you love me,  no matter what I do?

Gm7
  Oh, pretty woman, that's all right for you,

             Gm7
now you just go on doing what you want to do.

            Gm7
But someday when you thing you've got it made,

           Gm7
you get in water deep enough so you can't wade.

[End-Chorus]

       C7                            Gm7
Pretty woman, what's the matter with you,

               D7                         G7*
can't make you love me,  no matter what I do?
