The Fever - Bruce Springsteen
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"

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

I can remember comin' home turning on my TV

And now the days grow longer
