After an introductory couplet, this is a blues that starts with Mary Davies' piano, gains mandolin and then gets an almost Moorish kick once Jon Garvey's great saxophone breaks loose...

Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
Men always get the blame these days, but it's not always their fault!
Lyrics
intro G D Em In some relationships men can be hell, but is that the many or few  G D A7 B So why’d’you let that stereotypical spell, get such a hold over you? verse  Em A Em A woman once said when things go wrong there’s a man at the heart B A woman once said you’ll know who to blame when things start to fall apart Em  Well that may be true from time to time A A7 But not in cases like yours and mine Em B Em You just can’t take it as read, what a woman once said A woman once said if you want to find the snake you know just where to look A woman once said you can read a man, it’s just like reading a picture book I’m sure it’s often the way that things can go But don’t forget it takes two to tango Don’t get it fixed in your head what a woman once said A Em A Em Oh it’s so unfair - it’s in your head saying woman beware A Em A B Oh it’s so untrue - it messes your mind and distorts your view B7 Em So why’d’you take it in the way that you do A woman once said show me a man and I’ll show you a jerk A woman once said no matter what a girl tries to do you know it’ll never work So how come no matter what I do You still go sneaking off to you know who That’s why I start to see red at what a woman once said
