Man! I Feel Like A Woman Backing Tracks | Chord Analysis
Above, you’ll find backing tracks to use when learning Man! I Feel Like A Woman. I’ve used stem separation to extract the guitar while keeping the drums, bass, keys, and vocals intact.
There is also a version tuned down to A to avoid you having to get the capo out.
After studying the chords and TAB, use my backing tracks to prepare for playing this tune with a band.
Should you want to play along with the original recording instead, you need to tune your guitar sharp to 441Hz. In the backing tracks, I’ve done this job for you by tuning it to 440Hz (and the key of A).
Chord Progressions – What’s Going On?
The trickiest part of playing Shania Twain’s Man! I Feel Like A Woman! is that you’ll need to place a capo on fret 1, which can be a bit uncomfortable and confusing.
Although it’s clear from the original recording that the guitars are tuned up a semitone, I doubt you’d want to bring a guitar tuned that way to a gig just for this one song!
If you can convince the band to play in A instead of Bb, that would save you some hassle. Otherwise, prepare for the capo!
Verse
The verse chords are simple, following a I – IV – I progression, repeated, and then followed by the riff:
| A5 (I) | A5 | A5 | D5 (IV) | A5 | A5 |
| A5 | D5 A5 | A6 riff | A5 N.C |
Bridge
The bridge cleverly shifts to a G chord, which functions as bVIIx (also known as the backdoor dominant), before returning to A (chord I):
| G5 (bVIIx) | G5 | A5 (I) | A5 |
Chorus
The chorus moves to E, which feels like the V chord, then to C#m (III), and A (I). This is repeated, finishing with F#m (VI):
| E (V) | E | E | E | E | C#m (III) | A (I) |
| E | E | E | E | E | C#m | A | F#m (VI) |
What’s clever here is that this could have all been in the key of E, where it would follow I – VI – IV, then II (F#m) at the end. Great songwriting often bridges two keys like this to create tension.
I’ve put together some TAB for the intro, verse, bridge, chorus, and outro, all arranged for one guitar in a band, check it out further down this guitar lesson.
Once you’ve learned the TAB, here’s a chord chart to help you remember the progressions as you play.

Using this and the iRealPro app, you can change the key which, if you forgot the capo and have yourself an unreasonable singer might come in handy!
Man! I Feel Like A Woman! | TAB
Here’s the iconic intro riff, which returns later in the tune (remember the capo, or use my backing track tuned down to A).
The verse features a ZZ Top-style riff in A, moving to D and back – that’s I – IV. We use G and C notes to move between the chords. Here’s how that looks in TAB.
The bridge starts on bVIIx, going back to A – so G5 to A5. If you’re the only guitarist, I’d suggest combining long notes and rhythmic stabs, like this:
The chorus kicks off with an E major – now using full triads instead of power chords. In classic country fashion, we chop a bar off, making E last five bars before moving to III (C#m) and I (A).
After repeating the earlier sections, we then hit VI (F#m), stop, and head back to the riff or launch into the solo, depending on where you are in the song.
On the recording, multiple guitars play across the mix. Here’s a practical way to play the chorus chords if there’s only one guitar.
Finally, the outro revisits the riff idea with a chord twist:
Work through all the TAB above, then use the chord chart and backing tracks to put it all together. And don’t forget the capo on the first fret!
