Shake Sugaree Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I have a little song [G]and it
won't take long
And [C]I'll [G]sing it [C]right once or twice-
Oh lordy [Eb]me,
didn't [G]I shake [Bm]sugaree
Everything I [D]got is in the

[Verse 2]
[G]pawn.
[Bm]Everything I got.[D][G]
Pawned my chair and I pawned my bed,
[C]And ain't got no place to lay my head.
Oh lordy [Eb]me,
[G]didn't [Bm]I shake sugaree
Everything I [D]got is in the [G]pawn
Everything I got.
Grow my tobacco and I spit my juice-
[C]Well I would raise cain,
but it ain't a bit of use
Oh lordy me,
[Eb]didn't [G]I shake [Bm]sugaree
Everything I got [D]is in the [G]pawn.
[Bm]Everything I got.[D][G]
Pawned my tobacco and I pawned my pipe,
[C]Pawned everything that was in my sight.
Oh [Eb]lordy me,
didn't [G]I shake [Bm]sugaree
Everything [D]I got is in the [G]pawn.
[Bm]Everything I got.[D][G]
I'm going sailing in a wooden shoe
[C]Looking for a star I could tell my troubles to
Oh lordy [Eb]me,
didn't [G]I shake [Bm]sugaree
Everything I got is [D]in the [G]pawn.
[Bm]Everything I got.[D][G]
First star to the right and it's
straight on 'til morn,
[C]I never saw such such night
since [D]I was b[C]orn.
Oh [Eb]lordy me,
didn't [G]I shake [Bm]sugaree
Everything I [D]got is in the [G]pawn.
[Bm]Everything I got.[D][G]
Have a little secret; I ain't going to tell,
[C]I'm going to heaven in a brown pea shell.
Oh [Cm]lordy [Eb]me,
didn't [G]I shake [Bm]sugaree
Everything I [D]got is in the [G]pawn.
[Bm]Everything I got.[D][G]
Pawned my horse and I pawned my plow.
[C]Pawned everything,
even pawned my [Eb]old milk [C]cow.
Oh lordy [Eb]me,
[D]didn't [G]I shake [Bm]sugaree
Everything I [D]got is in the [G]pawn.
[Bm]Everything I got.[D][G][C][Eb]
[G][Bm][D][G][Bm][D][G]
Have a little secret and I ain't going to tell,
[C]I'm going to heaven and
I'm not going to ....
Oh lordy [Eb]me, didn't [G]I shake
[Bm]suga[G]ree[Bm]
Everything I got is [D]in the [G]pawn.
[Bm]Everything I got.
[D]I h[G]ave a little song and it won't take long...
