Verse:
G        C          C*   A    G     D                   G
When you shook your long hair down, when you sat beside me,
G      C       C*      A     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 the situation,
G            C          C*   A    G     D                  G
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation.

Chorus:
G        C          C*   A    G     D           G
When you shook your long hair down, my defences crumbled,
G       C   C*   A  G      D                G
Feeling I became to grown, all my words got jumbled,
Em               Bm              Em              D
Not a word would come to mind, I felt a child of seven,
G        C          C*   A    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      C*  A G     D                 G
Oh, in your eyes I saw a light of all my bridges burning.

Verse:
G       C         C*   A G      D             G
Now you know your hardly there, you'd already warned me,
G       C       C*   A 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 to it parted,
    G        C          C*   A    G     D                 G
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you know what you started.

Chorus:
G        C          C*   A    G     D                   G
When you shook your long hair down, when you sat beside me,
G        C     C*   A  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 the situation,
    G        C          C*   A    G     D                  G
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation,
    G        C          C*   A    G     D                  G
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation.
