Stand By Your Man
     by Tammy Wynette and Billy Sherrill

Verse 1
A                          E
Sometimes its hard to be a woman
Bm              E7               A
Giving all your love to just one man
D
You'll have bad times
A
And he'll have good times
B                                E
Doing things that you don't understand

A             C#
Stand by your man
D                    C#m   Bm
Give him two arms to cling to
A             F#7
And something warm to come to
B               E7
When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man
D                      C#m  Bm
And tell the world you love him
A           E7               C#7       F#
Keep giving all the love you can

But if you love him you'll forgive him
Bm               E7           A
Even though he's hard to understand
D
And if you love him
A              D
Oh be proud of him
A           E7              A    D   A   E
Cause after all he's just a man

CHORUS
A             C#
Stand by your man

And show the world you love him
A           E            E7  C#7   F#
Keep giving all the love you can
D     E  A       D    A   E    A
Stand by your man
