Searching for the right man...cuz a good man is hard to find. Sweet jazz/blues tune for all the single women our there!

lyrics

(Am) I’ve been searching (E7) east and west
(Am) To find the one that (Dm7) suits me best
(Am) A man sent to (E7) me from up (Am) above
(Dm7) Gentle and (E7) funny
(Dm7) With a soul as sweet as (E7) honey
(C7) Is that too much to ask?
(E7) Is that too much to ask?

Chorus
Oh, if (CM7) I could find a (Am7) man that would
(Dm7) treat me sweet and (G7) kind
I’d (CM7) think I was in (Am7) heaven
I’d (Dm7) never change my (G7) mind
Cause a (C) good man is hard to (C7) find
But (F) I won’t settle for (Fm) less
(C) Cause here sits a mighty fine (Am7) woman
And (Dm7) I (G7) deserve the (C) best


(Am) Guess I want a (E7) man
I can (Am) trust and (Dm7) understand
(Am) To stand here by my (E7) side
In stormy (Am) weather
(Dm7) We’d stay up for (E7) hours
(Dm7) Maybe he’d bring me (E7) flowers
(C7) Is that too much to ask?
(E7) Is that too much to ask?

Chorus

Oh, if (CM7) I could find a (Am7) man that would
(Dm7) treat me sweet and (G7) kind
I’d think I’d (CM7) died and gone to (Am7) heaven
I (Dm7) won’t believe my (G7) eyes
Cause a (C) good man is hard to (C7) find
But (F) I won’t settle for (Fm) less
Cause (C) here sits a mighty fine (Am7) woman
And (Dm7) I (G7) deserve the (C) best

(F7) La da da dada da dada da (C7) da da dot da
(F7) La da da dada da dada da (G7) da dot da


And (CM7) when I find that (Am7) man
(Dm7) Wherever he may (G7) be
I (CM7) gladly give up (Am7) searching
and be (Dm7) happy as can (G7) be
Cause (C) love is such a simple (C7) thing
What you (F) give is what you (Fm) get
And I’m (C) lovin’ you (Am7) already
(Dm7) Although we (G7) haven’t (C) met….yet

Yes, (C) love is such a simple (C7) thing,
what you (F) give is what you (Fm) get
(Slight ritard)
And (C) here sits a mighty fine (Am7) woman
And (Dm7) I (G7) deserve the (C) best
( Big Ritard!)
Yes, (C) here sits a mighty fine (A7) woman and (Dm7) I…(G7) I deserve the (CM7) best (Am7)

Outro: La da da da da (Dm7) da da da da da da
(G7) da da dada (CM7) da
