Tabbed by: Glenn Gervais (rabidGadfly)

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!

N.C.
   Right there hangin' round in the home.
