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".

E---------|
B--1------|
G------3--|

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]love a [G]woman

CHORUS:
[G]When you love a woman, you tell her that she's really [D]wanted
[D]When you love a woman, you tell her that she's the [G]one
[G]She needs somebody, [Em7]to tell her that it's gonna [Am7]last[D] f[Am7]orev[D]er
(She needs somebody, to tell her that you'll always be together)
So [Am7]tell me have you ever[D] really...[Am7]really, really ever [D]loved a [G]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]give her some faith, hold her tight, a little [G]tenderness
[G]you've got to treat her right
[D]She will be there for you taking good care of [G]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.
