Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bad Girl Boogie EP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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!
