Chords

The trick to the introduction is that it is slowed down 25%. The rest of the song is played at regular speed. In the verses you change from G to D playing the open D strings. Think minimalism and subtlety!

[Intro] D G [4x] [Verse 1]
       G                      G
I love women, I think they're great

          G                        G
they're a solace to the world in a terrible state

          G                       G
They're a blessing to the eyes, a balm to the soul

       G                    G
what a nightmare to have no women in the world
[Chorus]
G     A      D
  I – love - women

G     A      D
  I – love - women

G     A      D
  I – love – women

G      A    D
we all love women
[Verse 2]
          G                    G
I used to look at women in the magazines

       G                         G
I know that it was sexist, but I was in my teens

      G                           G
I was very bitter, all my sex was on the sly

      G                                   G
I couldn't keep my hands off women, and I won't till I die
[Chorus]
G     A      D
  I – love - women

G     A      D
  I – love - women

G     A      D
  I – love – women

G      A    D
we all love women
[Verse 3]
          G                         G
A woman's love can lift you up, and women can inspire

            G                           G
I feel like buying flowers and hiring a celestial choir

           G                       G
A choir of Castrati to serenade my love

       G                                  G
they'd sing a little Bach for us and then we'd make love
[Chorus]
G     A      D
  I – love - women

G     A      D
  I – love - women

G     A      D
  I – love – women

G      A    D
we all love women
[Solo] D G [36x]
