FEVER
by Eddie Cooley e Otis Blackwell (1956)

[Am]Never know how much I love you, [Dm]Never know how much I c[Am]are.
[Am]When you put your arms around me I get a, [E7]Fever that's so hard to [Am]bear.
You give me Fever, [Am]when you kiss me [Dm]Fever when you hold me [Am]tight
Fever - in the morning Fever all [E7]through the [Am]night
[Am]Sun lights up the daytime, [Dm]Moon lights up the n[Am]ight.
[Am]I light up when you call my name And you [E7]know I'm gonna treat you [Am]right.
[Chorus 1]
[Am]Ev'rybody's got the Fever [Am]That is something you all know
[Am]Fever isn't such a new thing [E7]Fever started long a[Am]go
[Am]Romeo loved Juliet, [Am]Juliet she felt the same.
[Am]When he put his arms around her, he said, "Julie, [E7]baby, you're my [Am]flame."
Thou givest Fever, [Am]when we kisseth [Dm]Fever when thy flaming [Am]youth.
[Am]Fever - I'm a fire Fever, [E7]yea I burn for[Am]sooth.
[Am]Captain Smith and Pocahantas [Am]Had a very mad affair
[Am]When her Daddy tried to kill him, she said, "Daddy[E7]-o don't you [Am]dare."
He gives me Fever, [Am]with his kisses [Dm]Fever when he holds me [Am]tight
[Am]Fever - I'm his Missus Oh Daddy [E7]won't you treat him [Am]right
[Am]Now you've listened to my story [Am]Here's a point that I have made.
[Am]Cats were born to give chicks Fever Be it [E7]Fahrenheit or [Am]Centigrade
They give you fever, [Am]when you kiss them [Dm]Fever if you live and [Am]learn.
Fever - 'til you sizzle
Wh[E7]at a lovely way to b[Am]urn
Wh[E7]at a lovely way to b[Am]urn
Wh[E7]at a lovely way to b[Am]urn
