Verse 1:
    

D-F-A-C

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 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 
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
     

G-Bb-D-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:
[C-E-F-A] [B-C-E-G] [A-C-E-G]
We gotta get you a woman
We gotta get you a woman 
We gotta get you a woman 
Dm7 N.C.
And when we're through with you
We'll get me one too
