SHAKING OF THE SHEETS


G+G        D MajorD
Dance, dance the shaking of the sheets
C majorC      D MajorD
Dance, dance when you hear the piper
G+G    D MajorD
Playing, everyone must dance
  E minorEm       D MajorD      E minorEm
The Shaking of the Sheets with me

E minorEm           D MajorD
Bring away the beggar, bring away the king
  E minorEm      D MajorD  E minorEm
And every man in his degree,
E minorEm          D MajorD
Bring away the oldest and the youngest thing
E minorEm        D MajorD   E minorEm
Come to death and follow me

E minorEm             D MajorD
Bring away the merchant who made his money in France
E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm
And the crafty banker too,
E minorEm           D MajorD
When you hear the piper you and I must dance
  E minorEm       D MajorD    E minorEm
The dance that everyone must do.

G+G        D MajorD
Dance, dance the shaking of the sheets
C majorC      D MajorD
Dance, dance when you hear the piper
G+G    D MajorD
Playing, everyone must dance
   E minorEm      D MajorD      E minorEm
The Shaking of the Sheets with me

   E minorEm                D MajorD
I?ll find you in the courtrooms, I'll find you in the schools
E minorEm        D MajorD   E minorEm
When you hear the piper play,
   E minorEm             D MajorD
I?ll take away the wise men, I'll take away the fools
  E minorEm     D MajorD       E minorEm
And bring their bodies all to clay.

E minorEm           D MajorD
All the politicians of high and low degree,
E minorEm        D MajorD     E minorEm
Lords and ladies great and small,
E minorEm                 D MajorD
Don?t think that you'll escape and need not dance with me,
   E minorEm         D MajorD  E minorEm
I?ll make you come when I do call.

G+G        D MajorD
Dance, dance the shaking of the sheets
C majorC      D MajorD
Dance, dance when you hear the piper
G+G    D MajorD
Playing, everyone must dance
  E minorEm       D MajorD      E minorEm
The Shaking of the Sheets with me

  E minorEm          D MajorD
It may be in the day, it may be in the night,
  E minorEm        D MajorD     E minorEm
Prepare yourselves to dance and pray
E minorEm               D MajorD
That when the piper plays ''The Shaking Of The Sheets?'
E minorEm        D MajorD     E minorEm
You may to Heaven dance the way.

G+G        D MajorD
Dance, dance the shaking of the sheets
C majorC      D MajorD
Dance, dance when you hear the piper
G+G    D MajorD
Playing, everyone must dance
  E minorEm       D MajorD      E minorEm
The Shaking of the Sheets with me
