Woman
C                     G   C
What am I supposed to do
    G     C
Say woman
   C              G  C
To get along with you
  Am
I read your books and I read your poems
        Bm
There's things I'll do and there's things I won't
        C
There's things to know that ain't been wrote
D
How am I supposed to keep on down this road

Now woman
How am I supposed to feel
See, woman
Is half of this even real
I kicked the nest and I done been stung
I can see the gallows where I'm gonna be hung
Maybe someday if we're lucky we'll find
A little bit a truth underneath the lies


Chorus:
       Am
I been living in you, you been living in me
D
I'll keep it real, you keep it free
C                C/B      Am
Tell me why it's gotta be so hard
C             D             G 
America, girl, what's going on

Harmonica

Woman
Why's it gotta be so hard
Woman
To know who you really are
Oh, I talked with your ma, I talked with your pa
I talked with the devil and I talked with god
I consulted the east and I went to the west
Nobody could tell me which was best

Chorus

Harmonica
