Lyrics

SHAKE MY TREE
A E D
Hello pretty lady it's nice to meet you too. No I've never been inside this
E
place before.
D E A
I just got into town a couple of days ago. I couldn't take that motel room
D
anymore.
E D A
I already know your name and all about your reputation. They say breaking
E
hearts is your daily cup of tea.
D E D
Before we take this any further I think it's only fair. There's some things you
E A need to know about me

CHORUS
D E A
I'm a lone wolf kind of guy. I've got gypsy in my soul. Like a tumbleweed
D
my roots ain't in the ground
E D A
Freedom is my mantra. My home the open road. I'm hard to catch and even
E
harder to tie down.
D E A
There's a fifty-fifty chance I might stay around. You never know what a man
D
like me is gonna do
E D E
So baby if you want to go ahead and shake my tree. Then maybe I might fall
A
for you




SHAKE MY TREE
A E D
You strike me as a woman who knows just what she wants. You're used to
E
having everything your way.
D E A
You can wrap a man around your little finger. But don't forget I'm not your
D
usual kind of prey.
E D A
So if you want to go ahead and take your best shot. What happens next
D
I guess we'll just have to see.
E D E
Cuz when I came into this town I had nothing. If I leave with nothing that's
A
alright by me.

CHORUS
D E A
I'm a lone wolf kind of guy. I've got gypsy in my soul. Like a tumbleweed
D
my roots ain't in the ground
E D A
Freedom is my mantra. My home the open road. I'm hard to catch and even
E
harder to tie down.
D E A
There's a fifty-fifty chance I might stay around. You never know what a man
D
like me is gonna do
E D E
So baby if you want to go ahead and shake my tree. Then maybe I might fall
A
for you.
D E A
But then maybe. Oh just maybe. You might fall for me.
