[Intro]
   Bm     Dx2
[Verse 1]
As the Emmidnight mo-on was Gdrifting thro-ough
the Dlazy sway of the trees
I saw the Emlook in your eye-es lookin' Ginto mi-ine,
Dseein' what you wanted to see
DarA/C#lin' Bmdon't say a wo-ord, cause I already he-eard
What your Gbody's sayin' to mi-ine
I'm tired of Emfast moves, I've got a slow groove...
   AOn my mind-----
[Chorus]
I want a man with a Dslow hand
I want a lover A/C#with an Bmeasy touch
 GI want somebody who will Dspend some time
Not come and go A/C#in a Bmheated rush
I want somebody who will Gunderstand
  AWhen it comes to love, I want a Dslow handA/C#  Bm  D  Bm  D  
[Verse 2]
On the Emshadowed gro-ound, with Gno one aro-ound
And a Dblanket of stars in our eye-es
We are Emdrifting free, like Gtwo lost le-eaves
On the Dcrazy wind of the ni-ight
DarA/C#lin' Bmdon't say a wo-ord, cause I already he-eard
What your Gbody's sayin' to mi-ine
If I want it Emall night, please say it's alright
  AOooh, we got the time-----
[Chorus]
Cause I got a man with a Dslow hand
I got a lover A/C#with an Bmeasy touch
  GI got somebody who will Dspend some ti-ime
Not come and go A/C#in a Bmheated rush
I've found somebody who will Emunderstand
  AWhen it comes to love, I want a Dslow handA/C#  Bm  
[Bridge]
If I want it Em7all night,
please say it's all Bm7right
It's not a Em7fast move, but a slow groove
  AOn my mind----
[Chorus]
(repeat to fade)
Cause I got a man with a Dslow hand
I  got a lover A/C#with an Bmeasy touch
  GI found somebody who will Dspend some ti-ime
Not come and go A/C#in a Bmheated rush
  GI've found somebody who will Dunderstand
I found a lover A/C#with a Bmslow hand
  GOoh, a lover with a Dslow hand
And I get all excited A/C#with his Bmeasy touch
  GI found somebody who will Dspend the night
Not come and go A/C#in a  Bmheated rush
  GOoh, a lover with a Dslow hand
