Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] G Cmaj9/E (Pick open 'A') D G [Verse] G C C* A G D G When you shook your long hair down, when you sat beside me, G C C* A D G All my terrors came to town, they began to ride me,

^EmI was left ^Bmwithout a word, I ^Emlost the si^Dtuation, G C C* A G D G Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation.

[Chorus] G C C* A G D G When you shook your long hair down, my defences crumbled, G C C* A G D G Feeling I became to grown, all my words got jumbled,

^EmNot a word would ^Bmcome to mind, I ^Emfelt a child of ^Dseven, G C C* A G D G When you shook your long hair down, I saw one hope of heaven. ^EmI was left ^Bmwithout a chance, no ^Emhope of a ^Dreturning, G C C* A G D G Oh, in your eyes I saw a light of all my bridges burning.

[Verse] G C C* A G D G Now you know your hardly there, you?d already warned me, G C C* A G D G With my heart already there, you had to go and stun me.

^EmTook the ribbon ^Bmin your hand and ^Empulled it to it ^Dparted, G C C* A G D G Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you know what you started.

[Chorus] G C C* A G D G When you shook your long hair down, when you sat beside me, G C C* A G D G All my terrors came to town they began to ride me,

^EmI was left ^Bmwithout a word, ^EmI lost the si^Dtuation, G C C* A G D G Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation, G C C* A G D G Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation.
