[Verse 1]
                         A5
N.C.                     
Baby, if you got to rock
A5
I got to be your rocking horse
A5
Baby, think you'd like to roll

Maybe your digging it more
                    D5
They're shaking the world
               A5
When it's time to crash
           D5
But when I get home tonight
                              A5
I guess I got to shake myself
[Verse 2]
A5
You need some love
A5
You must have the blues
A5
Ain't but the one thing
A5
A good man can do
          D5
He do the shake
              A5
The rattlesnake shake
            D5
Man, do the shake
                             A5
Yes, and jerk away the blues
A5
Now, jerk it, woo

Now, he don't care when he ain't got no chick

He do the shake

The rattlesnake shake
               D5

                         A5
And jerks away the blues

Now, jerk it, woo
