Strumming Pattern: D DUDUDU (Whole song) [Intro] G G [Verse]

F
1951 Small town kids

Got nothing to do

G
But dream all night

Of movie stars and Cadillac cars

F
And beautiful girls

And big city lights

C
LA River dragnet coming down

G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,

Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy

C
LA River dragnet coming down

G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,

Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy

F
From every corner

Of this great old nation

G
Good kids succumb

To the depths of temptation

F
Homecoming queens

Get lost in the cracks

G
And quarter back heroes

Get strung out on Smack

C
LA River dragnet coming down

G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,

Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy

C
LA River dragnet coming down

G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,

Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy

F
You wake up one day

With a monkey on your back

G
With foil on all your windows

And you're hiding all your tracks

F
The sheriff's shotgun

Don't make a sound

G
When it's pointed at your corpse

After he shot you down

C
LA River dragnet coming down

G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,

Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy

C
LA River dragnet coming down

G
Boom, shakalakalakalakalaka boom,

Shimmy shimmy shake, shimmy shake, shimmy shimmy shimmy [Outro] G F G C
