[Intro]
Bb C F
[Verse 1]
BbI'm findin' out what love is all about.
And every day, at three, when school lets out..
Dm7I see my baby, I get Ebweak in the knees.
BbThere's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees.
FWhy must she be such a Ebdoggone tease?
BbThere's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees.
[Verse 2]
BbWe meet the gang and go to Rockin' Joe's.
BbThe cats are stomping on their heels and toes.
Dm7I grab my baby, trying to Ebgive her a squeeze.
BbThere's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees.
FMy daddy told me there'd be Ebtimes like these.
BbThere's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees.
[Chorus]
EbShe's got a way that makes me act like a fool..Bbshe spends 
my money, then she plays me cruel.
EbI'm begging for her kisses on bended knees..Cgive me some 
lovin', baby, Fplease, please, please?
[Verse 3]
BbBut I'll keep trying hard to make her mine..some day, the 
wind will blow and sun will shine.
Dm7Until that time she puts my Ebheart at ease..Bbthere's nothing 
shaking, but the leaves on the trees.
FShe locked my heart and threw Ebaway the keys..Bbthere's nothing 
shaking, but the leaves on the trees.
[Interlude]

BbNothin' shakin' but the Fleaves on the Bbtrees.)
[Chorus]
EbShe's got a way that makes me act like a fool..Bbshe spends 
my money, then she plays me cruel.
EbI'm begging for her kisses on bended knees..Cgive me some 
lovin', baby, Fplease, please, please?

FWhy must she be such a Ebdoggone tease?..Bbthere's nothin' shaking, 
but the leaves on the trees.
BbThere's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees.
BbThere's nothing shaking, but the leaves on the trees..(Fade.)
