Man! I Feel Like A Woman Chords: Learn the progressions
The most awkward part of playing Man! I Feel Like A Woman! is that you must fit a capo on fret 1, which is never a nice experience.
I guarantee you that on the original recording, they tuned the guitars up a semitone but I can’t see you bringing a guitar a semitone up to the gig, just to play this one tune!
Perhaps you can convince the band to play it in A instead of Bb! If you can’t, get that capo out…
The verse chords are super simple harmonically, you play chords I – IV – I, repeat it, and then play the riff, like this:
| A5 (I) | A5 | A5 | D5 (IV) | A5 | A5 |
| A5 | D5 A5 | A6 riff | A5 N.C |
The bridge cleverly moves to a G which is chord bVIIx (also known as the backdoor dominant), then back to A (chord I), like this:
| G5 (bVIIx) | G5 | A5 (I) | A5 |
The chorus goes to E, which feels like chord V, C#m is III, A is I. Repeat this and end with F#m, chord VI, like this:
| E (V) | E | E | E | E | C#m (III) | A (I) |
| E | E | E | E | E | C#m | A | F#m (VI) |
What’s so clever here is that all this could have been in the key of E, so I – VI – IV, then II (F#m) at the end. Great songwriting often bridges two keys like this to create tension.
All these chords are great as a reminder once you have the TAB for how to play all this.
As a member, you get TAB for the intro, verse, bridge, chorus, and outro, all adjusted to work on one guitar if you have a gig this Saturday night.
Here’s a link to the full lesson: Man! I Feel Like A Woman! – Guitar Lesson with TAB.
