This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

And it's been you, woman, right down the line

The brightest light that shines

That every day I'm loving you so much more
(Dm) C Am F
Cause you believed in me, through my darkest night

Put something better inside of me

You brought me into the light

I threw away all those crazy dreams, I put them all behind

And it was you, woman, right down the line

I won't turn to someone else, They'd only let me down

And it's been you, woman, right down the line
C G Am G F
And it's been you, woman, right down the line
