Graham Parker – Sugaree chords

Intro

 

G                 C

When they come to take you down

G                    C

When they bring that wagon 'round

G                 C

When they come to call on you

G                       C

And drag your poor body down

 

 

CHORUS

Am              F

Just one thing I ask of you,

Am              C

Just one thing for me

G                 Am

Please forget you knew my name,

   F           C

My darling Sugaree

 

G                 C

Shake it, shake it sugaree,

Am                          F   C

Just don't tell them that you know me

G                 C

Shake it, shake it sugaree,

Am                            F C

Just don't tell them that you know me

 

 

You thought you was the cool fool

Never could do no wrong

You had everything sewed up tight.

How come you lay awake all night long?

 

CHORUS

 

 

Well shake it up now Sugaree,

I'll meet you at the jubilee

And if that jubilee don’t come,

Maybe I’ll meet you on the run

 

 

(The very last time only)

 

Am                            F C        G

Just don't tell them that you know-oh me
