Wanna tell you about the girl I love, my she looks so fine

[Verse 2]
 
A      E               G          D
Sunday morning when we go down to church,
D
See the menfolks standin' in line
A              E       G           D
Don't say they come to pray to the Lord,
D
not when my little girl looks so fine
A          E                G              D
And in the evening when the sun is sinkin' low,
D
and everybody's with the one they love
A          E            F#m            D
I walk the town, keep a-searchin' all around,
                                   A
lookin' for my street corner girl
 
[Chorus]
 
A  G D
       I got a woman, wanna ball all day, yeah
A  G D
       I got a woman, she won't be true, no, no
A  G D
       I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
A  G D
       I said I got a little woman and she won't be true
 
[Verse 3]
 
A          E              G               D
And in the bars, with the men who play guitars,
                                      A
singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times
A         E              G        D
My little lover does the midnight shift,
                           A
she fool around all of the time
A               E              G              D
I guess there's just one thing left for me to do,
                                  A
gonna pack my bags and move on my way
                      E
Cause I got a worried mind,
        F#m                D
sharin' what I thought was mine
                                  A
Gonna leave her where the guitars play
 
[Chorus]
 
A  G D
       I got a woman, she won't be true, no, no
A  G D
       I got a woman, wanna ball all day, yeah, yeah
A  G D
       I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
A  G D
       I got a little woman and she won't be true
 
[Outro]
 
A        G          D
Hey hey, what can I do? I said she won't be true
A        G          D
Hey hey, what can I say?
A        G          D
Hey hey, what can I do? I got a woman, she won't be true
A     G           D
Lord, hear what I say, I got a woman, wanna ball all day

To make it sound like the original, why not just put a capo on the 1st fret and play every chord half a step down, so: - play G in place of A so it sounds like G# - play F in place of G so it sounds like F# - play C in place of D so it sounds like C# - play D in place of E so it sounds like D# Your chords though are great and nice sounding for open acoustic.
