Tuning: Standard

Chords relative to capo
On the C chord occasionally do a hammer on on the second fret of the A string.
From one of the videos it looks
like he plays a C/G string so if you think that sounds better play that.
Intro
Am (several bars)
Am Fm7 (just a couple of strums) C (X2)

Am FM7 C
Her skin was fair and her hair was long
Am FM7 C
Her body built with a frame strong
Am FM7 C
She broke down my front door at dawn
Am FM7 C
And now we're in bed and the day is done
E Am G C E G
Oh, but a man he can't always pretend, that he does understand
Am FM7 C (X2)
Am FM7 C
So I'm gonna keep somethings well hid
Am FM7 C
In a wooden box with a tight lid
Am FM7 C
Up on the hill I'll sing my tune
Am FM7 C
With my ear to the ground and my eyes on the moon
E Am G C E G
Oh but a man he can't always pretend, that he does understand
