This song seems very straight-forward until you try and
decipher the solo work by Joan on this one. Good luck, and
if you figure out the solos, e-mail me please.

Fsus4 F
Loving your sweet ways
Fsus4 F
Loving the funny things you say
Fsus4 F
Loving the silence
C
Wrapped in my man's arms at the end of the day
Fsus4 F
Loving the way you
Fsus4
Make me feel
F
That women rule the world
Fsus4 F
If women ruled the world
C
It would be a good thing
Fsus4 F
No more war no more hate
Fsus4 F
Women can fight but talking's great
Fsus4 F
Behind your back to your face
C
They'd rather talk than murder
Fsus4 F
Not all men kill babies
Fsus4
But a woman would rather
F
Kill herself
Fsus4 F
Than see a child suffer
C
Women are carers, they were born that way
Fsus4 F
Like mother nature feeds the world
Fsus4 F
A woman will think of her child first
Fsus4 F
No more sons dying young
C
Women bore sons for living
Fsus4 F
I love how you love me
Fsus4
Make me feel that
F
Women rule the world
Fsus4 F
If women ruled the world
C
It would be a good thing
Fsus4 F
If women ruled the world
Fsus4 F
If women ruled the world
Fsus4 F
If women ruled the world
C
It would be a good thing
Everything else is solo work by Joan, and I can't figure
it out. I hope this helps and please send corrections to
