How to play
Step-by-Step Guide
1
Two simple chords
You need Am and E. Both are basic open chords.
2
Get the swing
This is not a straight-eight song. Swing the rhythm slightly — long-short, long-short. Think jazz, not rock.
3
Less is more
Play softly with minimal strumming. Fingerpick or use gentle thumb strums. The cool factor comes from restraint.

Am
Never know how much I love you,
Am
Never know how much I care.

When you put your arms around me,
Am
I get a fever that’s so hard to bear.
Chorus

You give me fever, when you kiss me,
Am
Fever when you hold me tight.

Fever in the morning,
Am
Fever all through the night.
