I Got A Woman

	  		

Despite moving the lyrics around a bit, Tom Petty pulls off a pretty slick version  
of Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman" on his Bad Girl Boogie EP. The chord chart is  
just a suggestion. It's a great song no matter where on the fretboard you decide 
to play the chords. Enjoy!

Strum then mute once before each line 
E 
   She's there to love me, 
E 
   Both day and night. 
E 
   Never grumbles and fusses, 
E 
   Just treat me right. 
E 
   Never runnin' in the streets, 
E 
   Leavin' me alone 
E 
   She knows a woman's place is, 
no chord 
   Right there hangin' round in the home.
