  			     E7                                     E7 
Just a shakin' in my knees, just a cold chill 
 
      E7                                     E7 
Don't know what it is, just call it a thrill 
 
       E7                                E7 
Just a lump in my throat, just hot blood 
 
      E7                                 E7 
Don't know what it is, some call it love 
 
 
       A7                   E7 
Well I saw you out in your car 
 
            A7 (C?)            C7 (Gm?)     E7   E7   E7   E7 
You had the top down, you were drivin' real slow 
 
 
Well I saw you in the grocery store 
Buyin' tomatoes for a casserole 
 
Well I saw you in the laundrymat 
Washin' your clothes, gettin' all the dirt out 
 
Well I saw you with your car broke down 
Fixin' your flat with a tire iron
