This is still incomplete, but I get so many requests for it that I'm making
it public anyway.

	       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 C 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
	                    Gm11              
	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
	                        /  
	                          [--- ...............]
	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

	 /                    
	[--- ........]
	 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
