shake it
lyrics and music by david bowie

intro : F E

G F#m F E G F#m F

E
i feel like a sail – boat
G
adrift on the sea
G F#m F
it’s a brand new day
E G F#m F
so when you gonna phone me

E
i could take you to heaven
G
i could spin you to hell
G F#m F
but i’ll take you to new york
E G F#m F E
it’s the place that i know well

G G F#m F E
sitting on a flagstone talking to a faceless girl
G C
wondering what to say but my eyes do the talking so well

C C
i duck and i sway – what’s my line
C C
shoot at a full moon – what’s my line
G
what’s my line – shake it baby

G F#m F

E
cause love is the answer
G
love’s talking to me
G F#m F
i’d scream and i’ll fight for you
E G F#m F E
you’re better than money
G G F#m F E
we’re the kind of people who can shake it if we’re feeling blue
G G F#m F E
when i’m feeling disconnected well i sure know what to do
G
shake it baby

C C
i duck and i sway – what’s my line
C C
shoot at a full moon – what’s my line
G
what’s my line – shake it baby

G F#m F E G F#m F E ( repeat )
