The way I hear it, the chording on the last line of each verse is different.

[Verse 1]
 
A     E                  G        D
Wanna tell you about the girl I love 
D
My she looks so fine
A         E                    G         D
She's the only one that I been dreamin' of 
D
Maybe someday she will be all mine 
A       E               G          D
I wanna tell her that I love her so
D
I thrill with her every touch
A         C#m              F#m             D
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love 
 
[Chorus]
 
A A G D

I got a woman, wanna ball all day
 
A A G D

I got a woman, she won't be true, no
 
A A G D

D
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
 
A A G D

I said I got a little woman and she won't be true
 
[Verse 2]
 
A      E                G          D
Sunday morning when we go down to church 
D
See the menfolk standin' in line 
A           E       G           D
I said they come to pray to the Lord 
D
With my little girl, looks so fine 
A      E                G              D
In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low 
D
Everybody's with the one they love 
A          C#m        F#m          D (hold)
I walk the town, Keep a-searchin' all around 
N.C.
Lookin' for my street corner girl
 
(repeat chorus)
 
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
 
In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She followed around all the time
I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
Cause I got a worried mind,
Sharin' what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play
 
[Chorus]
(same as above)
 
I got a woman, she won't be true, no no
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I got a little woman and she won't be true
(Hey hey what can I do) I said she won't be true
(Hey Hey, What can I say?) Hey hey, what can I do
I got a woman, she won't be true
Lord, hear what I say I got a woman, wanna ball all day

Good point Lonny. They also could have been drunk and high.

This version is correct and Led played it in the key of A at the 2nd fret. The may have tuned down 2 steps to G, but Jimmy technically played it in the A position 2nd fret. Watch the video.
