Widow of a living man

Ben Harper

from The Will to Live





Full credit to you if you know of and appreciate this awesome musician.



The song is played on an acoustic tuned to D(DACFAd), but I will write the

chords in as they are played, so if you are playing on a guitar

tuned to E, Aminor becomes Gminor and so on.





Intro:

I think the chord is called Am2 -  x02200



Verse:

      Am			C	G	D

Mama why does he treat me so cold so cold so cold

Am		   c	  G	D

Why do I feel so old so old so old

     Am			     C	     G	    D

how long has he treated me unkind unkind unkind

     Am			   C	     G	     D

or have I always been so blind so blind so blind





Chorus:

	Am		F		G	Am	G

I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man

	Am   G		Am   G   F   G   Am2 --> see above

of a living man of a living man



For subsequent verses and choruses, repeat the above pattern.



Verse:

Why can't the times stay the same

now i am begging him to change

what about all the plans we've made

now i am so afraid



Chorus:

I'm the widow of a living man



Verse:

why does he hurt me so

I'm gonna need somplace to go

he's no longer some kind woman's son

mama i think that I had better run



Chorus:

I'm the widow of a living man
