[Verse 1]
A
 Lately I've been having evil dreams
  E                      A
I wake up in a cold blue lair
  A
I run the tape back in my mind
       E                     
Wonder if I took a wrong road 
 A
somewhere
D
 Searching for the truth the way God
 designed it
Dsus4
 Well, the real truth is that I may 
be afraid to find it

[Chorus]
        A
Well, I need a woman
G   D     A
All right
A
Need a woman
G  D  A
Every night
D
 To be with me and know me as I am
D
 To show me the kind of love that 
don't have to be condemned
    E
And I ... want ...  you ... to
A
Be that woman
 G D   A
(Every day)
 A
(Be that woman)
 G D   A
(Every way)

[Verse 2]
            A
I've had my eyes on you, baby
    E         A
For five long years
          A
Well, you probably don't know me at 
all
Continues after the ad
                   E               
But I've seen your laughter and 
            A
I've seen your tears
D
Tell-tale heart will show itself to 
anybody near
        D
There's always some new stranger in 
the night to lend a sympathetic ear

[Chorus]
        A
Well, I need a woman
   G  D  A
To be my own
  A
I need a woman
       G    D A
That's mine a-lone
D
 Seen you in the doorway, I seen you
 in the park
D
 Seen you in the sunshine, I seen 
you in the dark
    E
And I ... want ...  you ... to
A
Be that woman
 G   D  A
(Oh, no, no)
A
(Be that woman)
 G D   A
(Every way)

[Verse 3]
         A
You keep listening to something long
 enough
            E                    
You're just bound to believe that 
      A
it's true
                 A
You know there's some things that 
you put out
     E                  A
It's gonna come back on you
D
 That which is not permanent don't 
last
   D
Whatever's waiting in the future 
could be what you're running from in
 the past

[Chorus]
      A
Oh, I need a woman
G    D    A
I'll pull up
A
Need a woman
                  G  D A
Drinking from the same cup
D
 Someone who likes simple things, is
 not afraid to bend
D
 Someone who don't make herself up 
to make every man her friend
    E
And I ... want ...  you ... to
A
Be that woman
 G D   A
(Every day)
 A
(Be that woman)
 G D   A
(Every way)

[Verse 4]
A
 Don't know what you got that I want
      E                     A
Don't know what I've got to give
      A
Don't know how much time I got
      E                  A
Don't know how long I'll live
    D
The rebellion in my soul, why was it
 created?
D
To blur the focus of my mind and 
keep me isolated

[Chorus]
      A
But I need a woman
   G     D  A
It ain't no crime
A
Need a woman
G   D   A
All the time
D
 To see the promised land with me as
 the time goes by
D
 To rule my heart with sweetness and
 boldness from on high
    E
And I ... want ...  you ... to
A
Be that woman
G    D A
Yes, I do
A
Be that woman
G        D   A
Straight and true
