We Got to Get You a Woman

Leroy, (Am7)boy, is that you?

(Gm7)I thought your posthanging days were through.

Sunken eyes and full of sighs.

Tell no lies,

you get wise.

I tell you (C)how we're gonna (Gm7)pull you through.

There's only (C)one thing left that (Dm7)we can do.

(C)We got to (Am7)get you a (C)(Dm7)(F)woman.

It's like (Bbmaj7)nothing else to (Am7)make you feel sure you're alive.

We got to get you a (C)(Dm7)woman.

(Bbmaj7)We better get walking;

we're (Gm7)wasting time (F)talking now.

(Bbmaj7)Leroy, (Am7)boy, you're my friend.

Come and meet me down the street.

Take a seat,

You may not (C)ever get this (Gm7)chance again.

That empty (C)feeling's just (Dm7)about to end.
