The Velveteins - Shimmy Shake

      [Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
A
Fooling around, whatever’s cool
C
Shuffling feet, and kick off your shoes
E

[Verse 2]
A
Hospital gown, singing the blues
C
Tongue in cheek, you know you can’t lose
E

[Verse 3]
A
Give me a shimmy, give me a shake
C
Pinch yourself, to see if you’re still wake
E

[Chorus 1]
A
Ask me to leave, I don’t wanna stay
B                                            C#m
Saying you’re clean, won’t save you anyway no
A
Ooh ooh ooooh
E

[Verse 4]
A
Send me away, take a walk
C
I’ll be here just waiting for your smile
E

[Verse 5]
A
Tasty vixens and crimson red
C
[Poke your boys, you’re better as friends]
E

[Verse 6]
A
Scribbling pictures in your bedroom wall
C
Some of them big and some of them small
E

[Chorus 2]
A
Spit on your hand and give me a shake
B                                           C#m
Saying you’re clean won’t save you anyway no

[Bridge]
A                       G#
I know you think you’re having fun
         C#m                             F#
But it’s harder to reach you when you’re on the run
A                    G#
It’s OK, I know that you are young
            C#m                      F#
But now the water’s rough when [your eyes have shone]

[Outro]
C#m A E (x4)
