Billy Joel (born William Martin Joel on May 9, 1949 in Bronx, New York, USA) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter, and composer. Since releasing his first hit song, "Piano Man," in 1973, Joel has become a multi-million-selling recording artist. Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993. He is one of the very few rock (or even pop) artists to have Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

She's Always a Woman: Written and performed by Billy Joel on the Album "The Stranger"
This version in the key of B, corrects errors in the other versions, adds some chords, and more closely reflects the root (bass) movement and suspensions from the piano version. It also gives the chords for the extra measure (or 2 measures if you're counting in 3/4) at the end of the 4th line of the chorus. When you go from Em to Em7 use the open D string as the root. At the end of the chorus B bar chord open the 1st string then ad the F# to give a finish to the line.

[Verse] BEBEEsusE She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes. E7AAmaj7Aadd9A She can ruin your faith with her casual lies. BEBG#G#sus And she only reveals what she wants you to see. C#mC#m/BABEEsusE She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me.
BEBEEsusE She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you. E7AAmaj7Aadd9A She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe you. BEBG#G#sus And she'll take what you give her as long it's free. C#mC#m/BABEEsusE She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me.
