Elvis Presley - Fever (1960)

Often played in Am, I play in Em, capo 3, so really in Gm

Note the vocals ride mostly on IV in this key, i.e. the A in Em

Crazy chromatic key changes are also characteristic of this song,

but I usually skip that when doing it acoustic. This is fun to do

with just bass and vox, in which I case I usually change keys after

every chorus.

Em

Never know how much I love you

D	B7	Em
Never know how	much I	care

Em

When you put your arms around me

	B7	Em
I get a	fever that's so hard to	bear

	Em	C
You give me fever,		when you kiss me

D	Em
Fever when you hold me	tight

Em	C
Fever,	in the morning

B7	Em
Fever all through the	night

Em

Sun lights up the daytime

D	B7	Em
Moon lights	up the	night

Em

I light up when you call my name

	B7	Em
And you	know I'm gonna treat you	right

	Em	C
You give me fever,		when you kiss me

D	Em
Fever when you hold me	tight

Em	C
Fever,	in the morning

B7	Em
Fever all through the	night

Em

Ev'rybody's got the fever

D	B7	Em
That is something	you all	know

Em

Fever isn't such a new thing

B7	Em
Fever started long a	go

Em

Romeo loved Juliet

D	B7	Em
Juliet she	felt the	same

Em

When he put his arms around her, he said

B7	Em
"Julie, baby, you're my	flame."

	Em	C
Thou givest fever,		when we kisseth

D	Em
Fever when thy flaming	youth

Em	C
Fever	I'm afire

B7	Em
Fever, yea I burn for	sooth

Em

Captain Smith and Pocahantas

D	B7	Em
Had a very	mad af	fair

Em

When her Daddy tried to kill him, she said

B7	Em
"Daddy-o don't you	dare."

Em	C
He gives me fever,	with his kisses

D	Em
Fever when he holds me	tight

Em	C
Fever,	I'm his missus

	B7	Em
Oh	daddy won't you treat him	right

Em

Now you've listened to my story

D	B7	Em
Here's a point that	I have	made

Em

Chicks were born to give you fever

	B7	Em
Be it	Fahrenheit or Centi	grade

Em	C
They give you fever,	when you kiss them

D	Em
Fever if you live and	learn

Em	C
Fever,	'til you sizzle

B7	Em
What a lovely way to	burn

B7	Em
What a lovely way to	burn

B7	Em
What a lovely way to	burn

Repeat and fade, then unfade, which I think is silly.

Tricky to get this to sound not stupid without percussion.

I try to mix up the D7 in as many positions as I can and be

percussive about it.

Hey, they really

E	A
Nail me to the	wall

His crystal images tell you 'bout a brighter day

And when the	Beatles tell you

Bm	G
They've got a	word "love" to sell you

Bm	E	A
They mean ex	actly what they	say

D7

I dig Rock and Roll music

I could really get it on in that scene
I think I could say somethin'
If you know what I mean

Bm	G
But if I	really say it

Bm	G
The radi	o won't play it

Bm	E	A
Unless I	lay it between the	lines

The Beatles - Drive My Car (1965)

The G13 is an arrangement addition; it's definitely G7 in the original

Intro

D	G13	D	G13	D	G13	A7

Vox are on C→B and G→G, to find that

D	G13
Asked a girl what she	wanted to be

D	G13
She said baby,	can't you see

D	G13
I wanna be famous, a	star on the screen

Vox are on C and F... over A7!

Playing A13 makes it easier to find that C

	A7
But	you can do something in between

Melody on F#.A.F#.D.F#.D.F

Harmony on D.F#.D.B.B.B.B or B.D.B.G.B.G.B

Bm	G
Baby you can drive my	car

Bm	G
Yes I'm gonna be a	star

Bm	E
Baby you can drive my	car

D→G→A7 is twice as fast here as in the previous chorus

	A7	D	G	A7
And	maybe I'll	love you

A7

Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Solo:

D	G	D	G	D	G	A7

Probably skip this whole chorus when acoustic

Baby you can drive my	car

Bm	G
Yes I'm gonna be a	star

Bm	E
Baby you can drive my	car

	A7	D	G	A7
And	maybe I'll	love you

I got no car and it's	breaking my heart

	A7
But	I've found a driver and that's a start

Bm	G
Baby you can drive my	car

Bm	G
Yes I'm gonna be a	star

The Beatles - Eight Days A Week (1964)

Originally in D, I prefer it in G, capo 5, so really in C

And Rocky	said, Doc it's only a	scratch

	G7
And I'll be	better

The Beatles - Something (1969)

After the first 'I don't know' in each chorus,

I do a descending A → Ab → G → Gb → F → E

I also generally ignore all the slash chords on guitar.

And I play a measure or two of C before the 'intro'

on guitar; that F always feels like a rocky start.

Sometimes I just skip the 'intro'. When I play

that riff on guitar, I try to be super-soft on the Eb.

Intro

F	Eb	G/D

C	Cmaj7
Something in the way she	moves

C7	F
Attracts me like no other l	over

D7	G
Something in the way she wo	os me

	Am	AmM7
I d	on't wanna leave her now

	Am7	D9
You k	now I believe, and h	ow

F	Eb	G/D

C	Cmaj7
Somewhere in her smile she kn	ows

C7	F	F/E
That I don't need no other l	over

D7	G
Something in her style that s	hows me

	Am	AmM7
I d	on't wanna leave her now

	Am7	D9
You k	now I believe and ho	w

F	Eb	G/D	A

A	C#m/G#	F#m7	A/E
You're asking m	e will my love	grow

A	C#m/G#	F#m7	A/E
You stick ar	ound now, it may	show

I don't	know, I	don't kn	ow

Solo if appropriate

The Beatles - We Can Work It Out (1965)

I sometimes play this in A, capo 3, so really in C,

in which case I play the whole bridge as vi → IV → III7,

since the descending doesn't work quite as well.

In D (the original key), the 'we can work...' is the

high bit, and sometimes dropping that to D (instead of

G) helps a lot.

The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup (1968)

Originally in C, I play in G capo 2, so really in A

Intro

G	B	C	D
x2

Vox in on 1 6 5 of the key (4 2 1 of the chord)

This is nuts, because in the original key that's

a C, and even in my usual key that's like an A

D	G	B
Why do you bu	ild me up b	uttercup, baby

	C	D

	G	C
But you're l	ate, I wait ar	ound and then

	G	D	F	C

	G	C
It's not y	ou, you let me d	own again

C	C/B	Am
Hey,	hey,	hey!

	D
Baby, baby, t	ry to find

D	D/C	Bm
Hey,	hey,	hey!

Bm	E	E/D

	A7	D
I'll be	beside the phone waiting for	you-oo-hoo, you-oo-hoo

D	G	B

The Jackson Five - I Want You Back (1969)

Originally in G#, I play in A down an octave, possibly capo 1 or 2

Highest note is the 5 (on OH baby give)

Highest note that's held a long time is the 3

A	A/C#	D
F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm7	E	A
x2

Here for completeness, but acoustic I go right to

the verse here.

A	E/G#	F#m	E	D	D/C#	Bm7	E
Oh						Let me	tell you now

F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm7	E	A
Oh

Vox on 5 on "when", on the 6 of the key on "self" and "didn't".

That means you're *not* going up from "self" to "didn't", even

though you want to.

A	D
When I had you to myself, I	didn't want you around

	F#m	A/C#	D	A
Those	pretty	faces a	lways m	ade you

	Bm7	E7	A
S	tand out i	n a c	rowd

	A	D
Then	someone picked you from the bunch, one	glance was all it took

F#m	A/C#	D	A
Now it's	much too l	ate for m	e

	Bm7	E7	A
To t	ake a s	econd l	ook

A	E/G#	F#m	E	D	D/C#
Oh	baby	give me one	more	chance

	Bm7	E
(To	show you that I	love you)

F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm7	E
Won't	you p	lease l	et m	e

A

Back in your heart

A	E/G#	F#m	E	D	D/C#
Oh d	arlin' I	was b	lind to l	et you go

	Bm7	E
(L	et you go	baby)

	F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm	E	A
Well	now	since I’	ve	seen yo	u	in his	arms

(I want you back)

A

Yes I do now (I want you back)

A

Ooh ooh baby (I want you back)

A

Yeah no no no (I want you back)

A

No no no no

A	D
Tryin' to live without your love, is	one long sleepless night

F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm7	E7	A
Let me	show you g	irl	that I	know w	rong from r	ight

A	D
Every street you walk on, I leave	tear stains on the ground

F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm7	E7	A
Follow	ing the g	irl,	I didn't e	ven w	ant ar	ound

Let me tell you now

A	E/G#	F#m	A	D	D/C#	Bm7
Oh	baby	all I	need is	one more	chance

	Bm7	E
(To	show you that I	love you)

F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm7	E
Won't	you p	lease l	et m	e

A

Back in your heart

A	E/G#	F#m	E	D	D/C#
Oh d	arlin' I	was b	lind to l	et you go

	Bm7	E
(L	et you go	baby)

Note different rhythm here, downbeat on *IN* his arms

	F#m	A/C#	D	A	A
Well	now	since I		see you	in his arms

Bass/vox break, mostly on the I chord with some buh buh buh

A	E/G#	F#m	E	D	D/C#
Oh d	arlin' I	was b	lind to l	et you go

	Bm7	E
(L	et you go	baby)

	F#m	A/C#	D	A	Bm	E	A
Well	now	since I’	ve	seen yo	u	in his	arms

(I want you back)

Original ad libs on chorus chords to fade, I prefer to end on:

A

Yes I do now (I want you back)

A

Ooh ooh baby (I want you back)

A

Yeah no no no (I want you back)

Hard stop before "I want you back"

A

No no no no (I want you back)
