Take Out Some Insurance
from "Number 10"
Transcribed from the CD number ORE CD 523
This is a simple song in D major and predictably uses G and A major as
well,
along with the C major at the end of the verses and chorus, a device
which
JJ often uses. It's played on guitar with a smattering of fiddle,
especially in the bridge. In the first line in the second verse, I can't
quite figure out what the ~a something~ is, if anyone knows, email me.
Have Fun.
[D] [G]
[D]
A man knocked upon the door, said "Don't you know you're gonna die some
day"
[A]
I've got a plan for you, man, for when you pass away.
[D] [G] [D]
We'll give to your mother, your kids and your wife
[G] [D]
and all you have to give in return is your life.
[chorus]
[G]
Take out some insurance, insurance today,
[D] [C] [D]
for tomorrow will come and take us away.
[/chorus]
[G] [D]
Two men were gambling in ~a something~ one night
[A]
when a woman walked in with her dress up so tight.
[G] [D]
She asked the two gentlemen would they fight for her name.
[C] [D]
They got up and shot her and went back to their game.
[chorus]
[bridge, all on a D chord except for the final C-D like the end of each
verse]
[G] [D]
This aint no sad song, don't cry in your beer,
[A]
for one day will come and we won't be here.
[G] [D]
Somebody else will take up our game,
[C] [D]
different place, different name.
[chorus]
[chorus]
