FEVER - A simple ukulele part

This is a pretty fun song to play. I've simplified the bass line to accomodate uke tuning and make it accessible to beginnner players.  I'll stick up some Chicks with Picks playing it when they've learnt it or send me your version and I'll post that!Have fun!

Never know how much I love you,

Never know how much I care

When you put your arms around me,

I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever, when you kiss me,

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever! In the morning, fever all through the night

[Riff 1]

Sun lights up the daytime, moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name,

And you know I'm gonna treat you right

You give me fever, when you kiss me,

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever! In the morning, fever all through the night

[Riff 1]

Everybody's got the fever, that is something you all know

Fever isn't such a new thing, fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet, Juliet she felt the same

When he put his arms around her,

He said, "Julie, Baby, you're my flame"

"Thou giveth fever, when we kisseth,

Fever with thy flaming youth

"Fever! I'm afire, fever, yeah, I burn, forsooth."

Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad affair

When her daddy tried to kill him,

She said, “Daddy, oh, don't you dare!”

"He gives me fever with his kisses,

Fever when he holds me tight

Fever! I'm his misses, so Daddy,

Won't you treat him right?”

[Riff 3]

Now you've listened to my story,

Here's the point that I have made

Chicks were born to give you fever,

Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

They give you fever, when you kiss them,

Fever if you live and learn

Fever! 'till you sizzle, what a lovely way to burn

[Repeat this part:]

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn
