Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7 Version 8 Version 9 Version 10 Version 11 Version 12Submitted by Jack Warner. She's Always a Woman: Written and performed by Billy Joel on the Album "The Stranger" This version in the key of B, corrects errors in the other versions, adds some chords, and more closely reflects the root (bass) movement and suspensions from the piano version. It also gives the chords for the extra measure (or 2 measures if you're counting in 3/4) at the end of the 4th line of the chorus. When you go from Em to Em7 use the open D string as the root. At the end of the chorus B bar chord open the 1st string then ad the F# to give a finish to the line. [intro] E Esus E B E Esus E [Verse] B E B E Esus E She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes. E7 A Amaj7 Aadd9 A She can ruin your faith with her casual lies.

[Verse] E B E Esus E And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden. E7 A Amaj7 Aadd9 A Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding.
