            Fsus4       F
Loving your sweet ways
           Fsus4            F
Loving the funny things you say
           Fsus4       F
Loving the silence
                    C
Wrapped in my man's arms at the end of the day

           Fsus4       F
Loving the way you
        Fsus4
Make me feel
                    F
That women rule the world
   Fsus4                 F
If women ruled the world
              C
It would be a good thing


Fsus4       F
No more war no more hate
Fsus4               F
Women can fight but talking's great
Fsus4            F
Behind your back to your face
       C
They'd rather talk than murder

            Fsus4       F
Not all men kill babies
                  Fsus4
But a woman would rather
          F
Kill herself
                 Fsus4     F
Than see a child suffer
          C
Women are carers, they were born that way

     Fsus4         F
Like mother nature feeds the world
  Fsus4               F
A woman will think of her child first
Fsus4        F
No more sons dying young
C
Women bore sons for living

             Fsus4      F
I love how you love me
        Fsus4
Make me feel that
               F
Women rule the world
   Fsus4                 F
If women ruled the world
              C
It would be a good thing

   Fsus4                 F
If women ruled the world
   Fsus4                 F
If women ruled the world
   Fsus4                 F
If women ruled the world
              C
It would be a good thing

Everything else is solo work by Joan, and I can't figure
it out. I hope this helps and please send corrections to
