Big Bay Shuffle chords by Jeff Daniels

D                                                          G
I wanna tell you a story about a trip I took a little while ago
D                                           A7
Across that Mackinaw Bridge right past the Sault (Soo)
D                                              G
There’s nothing ‘round but logging trucks and pasty shops
E7                                        A7
17,000 tourists takin’ snapshots of the view from Route 2
D                                     G
Oh my Lord, I was getting’ kind of thirsty
D                                                A7
And they say in Marquett the Sunset beer tastes fine
D                                           G
So I shut her down outside the Lumberjack Tavern
E7
Walked in through the screen door
A7
Nearly blew my down state mind
       D                         G
Oh my Lord, she was over by the jukebox
D                                                 A7
Shuckin’ and a-chuckin’ and a-jivin’ to beat the band
D                                                  G
Well, I put two beers on the table close enough to touch her
E7
She’d plate another quarter and pick four more tunes
A7
Then walked right over and took my hand
          D                         G
And said, Hey, Let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
D                                 A7
Get your feet and fingers movin’ right
      D                          G
Said, Hey, let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
A7                             D
We’ll be Big Bay Shufflin’ all night
D

She shuffled to the left, shuffled to the right
                  G
Then she shook her hands
       D                                         A7
Said, Boy, now I’ll show you what that jukebox can do
D
So I moved to my left, moved to my right
       G
Then I waved my hands
E7
Inside a minute I was so damn good
        A7
I could shuffle all the way to Kalamazoo
      D                          G
Said, Hey, let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
D                                 A7
Get your feet and fingers movin’ right
      D                         G
Said, Hey, let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
A7                              D
You’ll be Big Bay Shufflin’ all night

Instrumental:

         D                                       G
After fifteen minutes that bar was filled with residents
D                            A7
‘Bout 4am, no one was tired yet
D                                  G
Big Bay was alive, a-kickin’ and a-grinnin’
E7
Just in there boogeyin’ to Engelbert Humperdinck and
A7
Conway Twitty and Tammy Wynett
      D                         G
Said, Hey, let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
D                                 A7
Get your feet and fingers movin’ right
        D                       G
Said, Hey, let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
A7                             D
You’ll be Big Bay Shufflin’ all night
