 "JACK-KNIFE BEAT" by Rory GALLAGHER
 -- 
 Am   D/A Am, Am   D/A Am,...
 
 E7   D7  E7
__ Shake it, baby, before it shakes you, 
 __E7   D7  E7__
 get it baby, and let it take you where you want it to
 D7   C7  D7
 don't say maybe that just won't do,
 D7   C7  D7
 you say I'm crazy
 D7   C7  D7
 but this music's got me feeling good.
 __E7   D7  E7__
 I know it's fever, but I don't need a cure
 __E7   D7  E7__
 you're the doctor, 
 __E7   D7  E7__
 I'm your patient that's for sure,
 __E7   D7  E7__
 I'm your patient that's for sure.
 __E7   D7  E7__
 hear it, baby, sneakin' on through,
 __E7   D7  E7__
 you'll know it, baby, when that rhythm
 __E7   D7  E7__
 gets inside your shoes.
     D7   C7  D7
 now don't say maybe, you know it's good for you
 D__7   C7  D7__
 don't drive me crazy 
 D__7   C7  D7__
 just tell me what you're gonna do.
 __E7   D7  E7__
 don't run baby, I'm telling you
 __E7   D7  E7__
 and it's too late, baby,
 __E7   D7  E7__
 because this rhythm's creeping up on you,
 __E7   D7  E7__
 you know it's creeping up on you. 
          A7
 we got a Jack-knife Beat,  
 A7                                                       E7
 sounds like an ice cream truck rolling down a back street, Yeah... 
             A7
 we got the whole thing going like a pneumatic drill 
                                                     D
 the guitar man's playing like he's fit to kill, oh yeah
 (solo piano, guitar)  E7  F#7  Dm7
           A7
 We got a Jack-knife Beat, 
 A7
 a killer of a backbeat, 
 A7                                               E7
 siphon off the syrup, let it take a back seat 
         A7
 what's cooking in the kitchen has come to a boil 
 A7                                                          D
 what's brewing in the basement's bound to overspill, oh yeah
 E7   D7 E7
 shake it baby, before it shakes you, 
 E7   D7 E7
 get it, baby, and let it take it to where you want it to. 
 D7   C7  D7
 don't say maybe, you know that won't do 
 D7   C7  D7
 you say I'm crazy 
 D7   C7  D7
 but this music's got me feeling good 
 __   E7   D7  E7__
 you call it fever, but I got the cure 
 __E7   D7  E7__
 yeah, you're the doctor  
    __E7   D7  E7__
 and I'm your patient that's for sure, 
 __E7   D7  E7__
 I'm the patient that's for sure.
