Banda de folk rock formada na Escócia no início da década de 1970 por dois colegas de escola, Joe Egan e Gerry Rafferty, que se juntaram à Roger Brown (vocal), Rab Noakes (guitarras e vocal) e Ian Campbell (baixo). Trabalharam juntos até 1972, sendo considerados o "Croby,Stills, Nash & Young" da Inglaterra, porém, meses antes de assinarem contrato com a A&M Records, Brown, Noakes e Campbell foram substituidos por Paul Pilnik ( Guitarras), Tony Williams (baixo) e Rod Coombes (bateria).
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
[Verse 1] D Well I don't know why I came here tonight, D I got the feeling that something ain't right, G7 I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair, D And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs, A7 Clowns to the left of me, CG Jokers to the right, here I am, D Stuck in the middle with you.
D Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you, D And I'm wondering what it is I should do, G7 It's so hard to keep this smile from my face, D Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place, A7 Clowns to the left of me, CG Jokers to the right, here I am, D Stuck in the middle with you.
[Chorus] G Well you started out with nothing, D And you're proud that you're a self made man, G And your friends, they all come crawlin, Slap you on the back and say, DA7 Please.... Please.....
[Verse 2] D Trying to make some sense of it all, D But I can see that it makes no sense at all, G7 Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor, D 'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore A7 Clowns to the left of me, CG Jokers to the right, here I am, D Stuck in the middle with you.

[Verse 3] D Well I don't know why I came here tonight, D I got the feeling that something ain't right, G7 I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair, D And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs, A7 Clowns to the left of me, CG Jokers to the right, here I am, D Stuck in the middle with you. D Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you, DDD Here I am, Stuck in the middle with you.
There are the chords to play with, if you feel like trying your hand at some of the slide guitar fills please see the tabs below. Both work at different parts of the song, the bottom one being the main solo ;). Cheers!
