Take Out Some Insurance  J.J. Cale

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
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.
[cborus] 
[G] 
Take out some insurance, insurance today,
[D] [C] [D] 
for tomorrow will come and take us away.
[/cborus] 
[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.
[cborus] 
[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.
[cborus] 
[cborus]
