Stuck in the Middle with You
                       (Stealer's Wheel)


This is for the slide lead.
It is just a base because there's a lot of ad lib going on in this song, but since there
no other tab, other than the intro to this song, here's something to work with.

From the base, you can add hammers, pull-offs and slides pretty much at your own pleasure.

There is basically nothing except rhythm up to the first bridge, so that's where this
begins.  (Full lyrics are at the bottom)


Well you started...

Stuck in the Middle with You
(Stealer's Wheel)

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please.....

Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please.... Please.....

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you,
Yes I'm...stuck in the middle with you,
Stuck in the middle with you.
Here I am...Stuck in the middle with you
