This is a Keith riff rocker. 
It was cut by Keith, Bobby Keyes (sax) and Jim Price (drums)
whilst waiting for the rest of the band to turn up.

go into open G (take the low E string off) tune to GDGBD 
(strings 5,4,3,2,1 respectively) put a capo on the fourth fret 
so that open string (00000) will be B.

CHORDS:  
B= 00000
B2= 02010
RIFF1 - BASED AROUND `E`
RIFF2 - BASED AROUND `E`
There are 2 riffs in the chorus. 
the� first riff goes like this (repeated twice)

------5-------5
5-5-6-5-6-6-6-5
5-5-7-5-5-5-5-5
5-5-5---7-7-7-5
5-5-5---5-5-5-5

THEN ITS THIS BIT (REPEATED TWICE)

0-0-----5---
0-0---5--5-
0-0-5-----0
0-0--------0
0-0--------0

the verse structure is all in B (open strings) and is the normal
rock`n`roll formula but it is adapted to open tuning -

0-0-0-0-0-0
0-0-1-0-0-1
0-0-0-0-0-0
0-0-2-0-0-2
0-0-0-0-0-0

B
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,

it always burned a hole in my pants.

Never made a school mama happy,

never blew a second chance on love.

CHORUS

RIFF1
I need a love to keep me happy,
RIFF1                         
I need a love to keep me happy.
RIFF2
Baby, baby keep me happy.
RIFF2
Baby, baby keep me happy.
=============

B
Always took candy from strangers,

didn't wanna get me no trade.

Never want to be like papa,

working for the boss ev'ry night and day.

CHORUS
======
RIFF1
I need a love to keep me happy,
RIFF1
I need a love to keep me happy.
RIFF2
Baby, baby keep me happy.
RIFF2
Baby, baby keep me happy.

B
Never got a flash out of cocktails,

when I got some flesh off the bone.

Never got a lift out of Lear jets,

when I can fly way back home.

CHORUS
======
RIFF1
I need a love to keep me happy,
RIFF1
I need a love to keep me happy.
RIFF2
Baby, baby keep me happy.
RIFF2
Baby, baby keep me happy.

This has been uploaded twice to YT, but the picture quality of the videos has been inferior so I'll upload it with the best picture quality possible. "Happy" live Aux Abbatoirs, Paris 6th June 1976. This is the "broadcast version" with a proper mix and slightly better picture compared to the unedited master.
