Verse I
C                           F-C                 Em
Swore that I was livin' free.  Oh, you couldn't talk to me
        Am                 F                    G
And the pride that kept me didn't want no company
              C            F-C             Em
Early mornin' subway train,   feelin' lost and runnin' late
         Am          F                     G   F   Em   G
Well, he held the car, he gave his seat to me


CHORUS
      C          G       Am       C             F       G       C
And I can't find nothin' feels so fine as lovin' a good-hearted man
           C          G        Am             C         F    G       C
Oh, he can soothe me, free me, Oh, I'm gonna marry that good-hearted man


VERSE II 
C                              F-C                        Em
I told him that he'd better go,   cause I was crazy and impossible
        Am              F                      G
That my love was broken, my dreams had run off wild
           C             F-C              Em              
Patient as the easy rain,    Oh, he never turned away
         Am               F                       G     F   Em   G
Callin', "Hey, sweet woman, you know you're not a child


CHORUS


BRIDGE
G                         Am
Good hearted man, now the night makes sense
             Dm                          G
Because your tenderness, it's shelterin' me


VERSE III
                       C            F-C                   Em
So I'm tradin' in that hot-head kid,    for a woman I can give to him
             Am                  F             G    F       Em           G
And it ain't easy but I'm gonna, do the best I can, Oh that good-hearted man


You know that . . .


CHORUS 2
C          G       Am       C                 F    G       C
Just ain't nothin' feels so fine as lovin', a good-hearted man
           C          G        Am            C          F    G       C
Oh, he can soothe me, free me, Oh, I'm gonna marry that good-hearted man
            C         G         Am          C               F     G      C
Oh, and I'm grateful, grateful, got to say "Thank you" to a good-hearted man


C   Em   Am   C   F   G   C
