Stuck in the Middle with You – Stealers Wheel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Gerry Rafferty/Joe Egan
From: “Stealers Wheel” [1973]
Tuning: Double Drop D D-A-D-G-B-d
one full step down D-G-C-F-A-d
The intro acoustic [right channel] seems to be using Double Drop D or
Open D [this guitar doesn’t return throughout the song].
The major acoustic accompanying the song [left channel] sounds as if all
strings were tuned down one full step.

[Verse 1]
Well I Ddon't know why I came here tonight
I got the Dfeeling that somethin’ ain't right
I'm so Gscared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm Dwondering how I'll get down the stairs
[Chorus]
A7Clowns to the left of me

Jokers to the right, here I am
D Stuck in the middle with you
[Verse 2]
Yes, I'm .D.. stuck in the middle with you
And I'm Dwondering what it is I should do
It's so Ghard to keep this smile from my face
Losing c’Dtrol, yeah, I'm all over the place
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
DTrying to make some sense of it all
But I can Dsee that it makes no sense at all
Is it Gcool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I d’n Dthink that I can take anymore
