[the (F) in the verse is a quick "accent" chord.]
C G/B Am G F G C C
[intro]
C (F) C C C Em Em Em Em
Swore that I was living free, oh you couldn't talk to me
Am Am F F G G G G
And the pride that kept me didn't want no company
C (F) C C C Em Em Em Em
Early morning subway train, feeling lost and running late
Am Am F F G G6 G7 G7
Well, he held the car, he gave his seat to me
C G/B Am G F G C C
And I can't find nothing feels so fine as loving a good hearted man
C G/B Am G F G C C
Oh, he can soothe me, free me, oh I'm gonna marry that good hearted man
I told him that he'd better go, 'cause I was crazy and impossible
That my love was broken, my dreams had run off wild
Patient as the easy rain, oh he never turned away
Calling, hey, sweet woman, you know you're not a child
And I can't find nothing feels so fine as loving a good hearted man
Oh, he can soothe me, free me, oh I'm gonna marry that good hearted man
G G G G Am Am Am Am
Good hearted man, now the night makes sense
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 G G6 G7 G7
Because your tenderness, it's shelterin' me
So I'm trading in that hot-head kid for a woman I can give to him
And it ain't easy, but I'm gonna do the best I can, oh that good hearted man
You know there just ain't nothing feels so fine as loving a good hearted man
Oh, he can soothe me, free me, oh I'm gonna marry that good hearted man
C G/B Am G F [pause]
Oh, and I'm grateful, grateful, got to say "thank you" to a good hearted...
C G/B Am G F G C.
