(intro) Bb F C G Bb Dm

 Dm                  C
 My life is changin' in so many ways
      Bb             F
 I don't know who to trust anymore
 Dm              C
 There's a shadow runnin' through my days
     Bb                 Dm
 Like a beggar goin' from door to door

     Dm                   C
 I was thinkin' that maybe I'd get a maid
     Bb               F
 Find a place nearby for her to stay
 Dm              Am7
 Just someone to keep my house clean -
     Bb        Dm
 Fix my meals and go away.

  Dm  C   Bb           Dm7   G F Em7
 A maid       A man needs a maid.

 A maid

 It's hard to make that change

 When life and love turn strange and   cold
   C         G       Bb         F
 To give a love,  you gotta live a love.

 To live a love,  you gotta be part of.
 C             G    Bb Dm
 When will I see you again?

 A while ago somewhere I don't know when
     Bb             F
 I was watching a movie with a friend.
 Dm                   Am7
 I fell in love with the actress.
     Bb                      Dm
 She was playin' a part that I could understand
  Dm  C  Bb           Dm7   G F Em7
 A maid      A man needs a maid.
  Dm  C  Bb
 A maid      A man needs
  Gm    Dm Em Em7
 a maid.

 When will I see you again?  (hold)
