[Intro] G C G/B G D G [Verse 1]
G        C          G/B       G     D              G
When you shook your long hair down, when you sat beside me,

G      C       G/B     G     D             G
All my terrors came to town, they began to ride me,

Em         Bm                Em         D
I was left without a word, I lost my situation,

G            C          G/B       G         D              G
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation.
[Verse 2]
G        C          G/B       G     D           G
When you shook your long hair down, my defences crumbled,

G       C     G/B    G      D                G
Feeling I'd begun to drown, all my words got jumbled,

Em               Bm              Em              D
Not a word would come to mind, I felt a child of seven,

G        C          G/B       G       D               G
When you shook your long hair down, I saw one hope of heaven.

Em         Bm                   Em        D
I was left without a chance, no hope of a returning,

    G       C      G/B   G         D              G
Oh, in your eyes I saw a glance of all my bridges burning.
[Verse 3]
G        C        G/B    G     D             G
You know you were hardly fair, you'd already won me,

G       C       G/B   G          D             G
With my heart already there, you had to go and stun me.

Em              Bm               Em                D
Took the ribbon in your hand and pulled it 'til it parted,

    G        C          G/B       G     D                 G
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you know what you started.
[Verse 4]
G        C          G/B       G     D              G
When you shook your long hair down, when you sat beside me,

G      C       G/B     G     D             G
All my terrors came to town, they began to ride me,

Em         Bm                Em         D
I was left without a word, I lost my situation,

G            C          G/B       G         D              G
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation.
[Outro] G C G/B G D G
