Chords

The 1973 gem that Bruce didn't release officially until 1998 on the "Tracks" box set. Also can be heard on several bootlegs, like the "Prodigal Son At Winterland '78", or in an incredible acoustic version on the "Lost Radio Show '74" | N.C. | N.C. | Em7 D| Em7 C | Em7 D| Em7 C | | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em | Em D | Am7 Em |
                        Am7        Em
When I get home from my job I turn on my TV

      Am7                       Em
But I can't keep my mind on the show

       Bm                            C
When I lay down at night, oh I can't get no sleep

     Am7           Bm
So I turn on my radio

        Am7          Bm          Em7
But the only sound I hear is you whisperin'  in my ear

    Am7                    Em7
The words that you used to say

       Am7
Now my days grow longer

          Em7
'Cause my love grows stronger

        C          Bm          Em7
And the fever gets worse every day
And I've got the fever for this girl
                    Bm
He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Am7                         Em
Nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for this girl
                    Bm
He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Am7              Bm     Em
Left this little boy blue

                              C
Well I can remember comin'  home

          G
I see you standin'  at the stove

         C
With the dishes on the table

       G
Dinner ready to go

     Bm                 C
We'll maybe go out to a movie show

Am7                          Bm
Something that you like to see

                   Am7
Well, now, you are my sun in the morning

       Em
And my moon at night

       Am7
When I think about you

            Em
It makes me feel all right

            Am7
Well now my days grow longer

               Em
The love just grows stronger

        C             Bm
And the fever gets so bad at night

Em7
I've got the fever for this girl

                    Bm
He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Am7                         Em
Nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for this girl
                    Bm
He's got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Am7               Bm
Left this little boy blue

Ooooh he's gonna be all right

                       Am7          Em
I can remember comin'  home turning on my TV

      Am7                       Em
But I can't keep my mind on the show

       Bm                            C
When I lay down at night, oh I can't get no sleep

     Am7            Bm
So I turn on the radio

              Am7          Bm          Em
But still the only thing I hear is you whisperin'  in my ear

    Am7                    Em
The words that you used to say

            Am7
And now the days grow longer

        Em
And the love grows stronger

        C          Bm        Em
And the fever gets bad every day
I've got the fever for this girl
               Bm
Got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Am7                         Em
Nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for this girl
               Bm
Got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Am7               Bm
Left this little boy blue

Em             Bm
Got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Am7                         Em7
Nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for this girl
               Bm
Got the fever, oh he's got the fever

Am7              Bm
Left this little boy blue

Em  Bm           Am7   Em
Ooooh he's gonna be all right
