I get the fever (US Country 1, 1966)     (video)

D - E7

1. Every time I hear the midnight trains  rolling out to the open plains

A - A7 D

 a sense of freedom fills my veins,  I get the fever.

D - E7

 Every time I sparrow flies  up into the endless skies,

A - A7 D - D7

 something down inside me cries,  I get the fever.

G

 I get the fever to pack up and leave here,

D - D7

 and wander wild like the wind.

G

 This town's too full of memories of cruel love,

D A7

 and I can't stand it seeing her with him.
 

D - E7

2. Every time I hear a buddy say,  he's put lots of dust and clay
A - A7 D - D - D7
 between him and yesterday, I get the fever.
G
 I get the fever to pack and leave here,
D   - D7
 and I think maybe I'll do just that tomorrow.
G
 This town's too full of memories of cruel love,
 D   A7
 everywhere I turn there's pain and sorrow.
 
  D   - E7 
3. Every time I hear a buddy say,  he's put lots of dust and clay
A   - A7  D
 between him and yesterday,  I get the fever !
A7  D   - A7  D
 I get the fever !  I get the fever ! ….
