This is still incomplete, but I get so many requests for it that I'm making
it public anyway.
"We Gotta Get You A Woman"
(Todd Rundgren)
Intro (piano arr. for guitar):
v v v v v v v v
Verse 1:
Le - roy, boy is that you?
I thought your post-hangin' days were through
Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs
Tell no lies you get wise
I tell you now we're gonna pull you through
There's only one thing left that we can do
this is close but not 100% correct
Chorus:
voice these chords with on top wherever possible:
We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
We gotta get you a woman
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now
the 2nd and 3rd time
there are variants
of this which I
haven't done yet
Verse 2:
Leroy, boy, you're my friend
You say how and I'll say when
Come and meet me down the street
Take a seat, it's my treat
You may not ever get this chance again
That empty feeling's just about to end
repeat chorus
Bridge 1:
Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you
It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through
I got one thing to say, you know it's true
[
D-F-A-C ...............]
You got to find some time to get this thing together
repeat chorus
Bridge 2:
Talkin' 'bout things about that special one
They may be stupid but they sure are fun
I'll give it to you while we're on the run
Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause we
--j7
-F ........]
Got to get together with a woman who has been around
One who knows better than to let you down
Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town
And that she'll take some time to get this thing together 'cause
(Get this thing together 'cause)
Get this thing together 'cause
Coda:
We gotta get you a woman
We gotta get you a woman
We gotta get you a woman
N..
And when we're through with you
We'll get me one too
