[Intro]

[Verse]
      C              G
I got over Charlotte Thompson
       F        G                  C
Goldie Johnson, Lord, they done me wrong
          C                G
I took it hard with Peggy Harper
            F   G            C
She hurt me bad, but not for long


[Verse]
             C       G
There's just one I remember
         F    G            C
Makes me feel funny down inside
              C                G
I'd trade 'em all for just one hour
   F F/E G/D  G   C
Of Susan when she tried


[Chorus]
           | C C/B C/A C/G |
No there's never
       | C C/B C/A C/G |
Been a woman
          F       G      C
Who could make me weak inside
    | C C/B C/A C/G |
And give me
      | C C/B C/A C/G |
What I needed
     F F/E G/D  G   |  C  |  %  |  %  |
Like Susan when she tried


[Verse]
        C            G
It gets worse in the summer
         F     G            C
When the nights are hot and long
         C        G
And it's bad in December
          F   G                C
When they play those Christmas songs


[Verse]
           C                  G
So, if you ask me and I don't tell you
         F           G         C
Bet your sweet bottom dollar I lied
               C              G
'Cause there's never been one better
     F F/E G/D  G   C
han Susan when she tried


[Chorus]
           | C C/B C/A C/G |
No there's never
       | C C/B C/A C/G |
Been a woman
          F       G      C
Who could make me weak inside
    | C C/B C/A C/G |
And give me
      | C C/B C/A C/G |
What I needed
     F F/E G/D  G   C
Like Susan when she tried
