"Scared"
Words and music by Burton Cummings
[intro] DD EmEm F#F# GG EE AA D-E F#-G
D Em F# G
Said I'm scared, an' lord I'm scared, I'm terrified
Em A D-Em F#-G
Never been much on religion but I sure enough would like to hear the call
D Em F# G
I'm scared lordy, lord I'm shakin' I'm petrified
Em A D-Em F#-G
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
D A F# B A D-Em F#-G
I heard the chior singin' something about good will toward man and even sleepin in heavanly peace
D A F# B
Stopped by to see St. Thomas on a cold and dreary New York afternoon
Em A
Something in the air was Oh so rare, I don't know what it was but I know that it's still right there
D Em F# G
Scared lordy lord I'm shakin I'm terrified
Em A D-Em F#-G
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
Livin in confusion, searching for truth that I never found
I needed something to really believe
Looked toward the heaven, On a dark and stormy winter afternoon
Something in the air was oh so rare, I'm not really sure what it was but I know for sure that it's still
there
Scared, Hey,ey,ey,ey,ey,ey I'm terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
Ohhhhohhhohh
And I'm scared you know I'm shakin' I'm laying awake thinking about it now I'm terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough would like to hear the call
Come on now gimmee a sign you're listening to me,
You hear me talking, you hear me crying it's confusing to me lord I'm terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
Ohhhhohhhohh
The trick to this song is; some parts sound better played in first position and others you'll need to play
the fretboard
to get the best sound. If you can get a copy of it on tape or CD you'll see what I mean.
For those of you who missed the Burton Cummings "Intimate and Interactive" on Canada's Much More Music station
on Monday Nov. 1, He had Randy on with him playing some guitar and also indicated that they were seriously
considering the possibilty of a "Guess Who" reunion tour this winter!!
Have Fun
