Shake A Little
Bonnie Raitt
(Michael Ruff)
from Road Tested
Verse: B E F#m E
Chorus: E A Bm A
B E
1. In the shadow of your father,
F#m E
sweet, brown eyes of the one I love.
B E
I can't wait another minute baby,
F#m E (etc)
to do the things that we never done
Everybody gets hungry sometimes,
your love is like a kettle on
in the shadow of your father,
guess I get a little sad sometimes.
Chorus:
E A
Shake a little for me baby
Bm A
turn me to the water when my well runs dry
E A
shake a little for me baby
Bm Bm B
just a little now, just a little now,
2. Everybody gets lonely sometimes,
guess a stranger is a friend in need.
In the shadow of this New York skyline
all these stories looking down on me.
Everybody feels the water rising,
you could go under or enjoy the ride.
Ah, when your dancing for me now baby,
I feel so small against the tide.
Chorus:
Shake a little for me baby
turn me to the water when my well runs dry
shake a little for me baby
Shake a little for me baby
turn me to the water when my cup runs dry
shake a little for me, baby,
just a little now (3x)
guitar solo
Chorus:
shake a little for me baby
take me to the river when my cup runs dry
shake a little for me baby
just a little now, just a little now, just a little now.
Go back to B E F#m E B but over the chorus to end.
