Take Out Some Insurance
from Number 10
by J. J. Cale

Transcribed from the CD number ORE CD 523
by Ian Prideaux (mailto:ian@netgates.co.uk)
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]
