Okay, I have finally finished!  It took me a few hours, but I finally 
figured out it isn't tuned down.  So ...

HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN
- Bryan Adams, off of Don Juan DeMarco soundtrack

*Chords used:
   Eb   Cm    D   Bb    F   Em7  Am7   G
E  -6-  -3-  -5-  -1-  -1-  -0-  -0-  -3-
B  -8-  -4-  -7-  -3-  -1-  -3-  -1-  -3-
G  -8-  -6-  -7-  -3-  -2-  -0-  -0-  -0-
D  -8-  -6-  -7-  -3-  -3-  -2-  -2-  -0-
A  -6-  -3-  -5-  -1-  -3-  -2-  -0-  -2-
E  ---  ---  ---  ---  -1-  -0-  ---  -3-

*And the Intro:

------------|-------------|-----------|
------------|-------------|-----1-----|
-0---2-3-2--|---0-2-3-2---|---0---3-2-|
------------|-------------|-----------|
------------|-------------|-----------|

*The whole song (except for the solo and chorus) is arpeggioed by hitting 
the 5th, 4th, 3rd, then 2nd and holding.  In other words, the first chord, 
Eb, is played:
-------------
---------8---
-------8-----
-----8-------
--6----------
-------------

*Also, there are three different "step downs".
Fig1
E----------
B----------
G--3---2---

B--1------
G------3--

Fig3

B-----------
G--0-----1--

*So it goes:

Eb, Cm, D, Bb, Fig1, F, Cm, Fig2, Fig3, C, G

*Chorus:

G, D, G, Em7, Am7,D,Am7,D, Am7,D,Am7,D, G

*Bridge:

*solo:

Eb, C (something?  couldn't figure this one out.), D, Bb,F, Bb, F

*then it goes back to arpeggios:

Cm, Fig2, Fig3

*Back to the chorus.

*LYRICS:

To really love a
Eb             Cm                       D(barred)
woman, to understand her, you've got to know her deep inside
Bb                            Fig1                F
Hear every thought, see every dream, and give her wings when she wants to fly
              Cm                           Fig2   Fig3
Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms, you know you really
C      G
love a woman

*CHORUS:
G                                                     D
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really wanted
D                                                  G
When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the one
G                   Em7                         Am7 D Am7 D
She needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever
{2nd}(She needs somebody, to tell her that you'll always be together)
   Am7                  D         Am7                 D       G
So tell me have you ever really...really, really ever loved a woman 

*2nd VERSE

To really love a woman, let her hold you,
till you know how she needs to be touched
You've got to breathe her, really taste her
till you can feel her in your blood
And when you see your unborn children in her eyes
you know you really love a woman

*BRIDGE:

You've got to
Eb                                            G
give her some faith, hold her tight, a little tenderness
G
you've got to treat her right
D                                             G
She will be there for you taking good care of you

You really gotta love your woman

*SOLO*
             Cm                          Fig2    Fig3
And when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms,

you know you really love a woman

CHORUS 3X



PEACE, I'm out.
