[Intro]
Gm7      Gm7
[Verse 1]
  Gm7Oh, pretty woman, she's the rising sun,
says all your Gm7cheap paint and powder ain't gonna help you none.
'Cause she's a Gm7pretty woman right down to the bone,
so you just Gm7might as well still leave your skin alone.
[Chorus]
Pretty C7woman, what's the matter with Gm7you,
                                        D7  G7*
can't make you love me,  no matter what I do?
[Verse 2]
  Gm7Oh, pretty woman, what you trying to do,
you kept on Gm7foolin' around till I got stuck on you?
So you just Gm7drop that mess and come down off your throne,
stop using Gm7my poor heart as a stepping stone.
[Chorus]
Pretty C7woman, what's the matter with Gm7you,
                                        D7  G7*
can't make you love me,  no matter what I do?

[Verse 3]
  Gm7Oh, pretty woman, that's all right for you,
now you just Gm7go on doing what you want to do.
But someday Gm7when you thing you've got it made,
you get in Gm7water deep enough so you can't wade.
[End-Chorus]
Pretty C7woman, what's the matter with Gm7you,
                                        D7  G7*
can't make you love me,  no matter what I do?
