Shake the Sugar Tree

	  		E                   E 
Love, you're gettin lazy 
E                    E 
You're forgetting to give me 
A               A            E              E 
Sweet sugar,    words that I want to hear 
              B            B 
You've been neglecting me 
         B               B                        E           E 
You know jealousy, it is bitter as a green spring berry 
 
And just like (E)fruit from a (E)fickle vine 
(E)You turn sweet in the (E)nick of time 
(A)Love, you only (A)come alive when you're (E)losin me   (E) 
And it's a (B)childish game  (B) 
I've got to (B)shake you up, just to (B)wake you up 
To make you (E)love me   (E) 
 
CHORUS:      E         E         E                 E 
        I'll shake the sugar tree 'til I feel your love falling 
        A      B       E         E 
        All.......... around me 
                      B                  B     
        You've got to tend to what you planted 
                   B                 B 
        And if you take my love for granted 
                   E     B         A            A 
        Baby, I'll shake...... the sugar tree 
 
BREAK:  |E     |E     |E     |E 
 
(E)Another night and you're (E)sleeping 
(E)I'm awake and I'm (E)dreaming 
(A)Oh honey,  (A)'bout the way that it (E)used to be  (E) 
A little (B)time's gone by  (B) 
Do you (B)think that I'm con-(B)tent 
With the cookin and the (B)payin' of rent 
No, I (B)wanna know if you're (E)love's all spent   (E) 
 
(CHORUS AND BREAK) 
 
BRIDGE: Bm\....                    F#\....   
             I've got to raise some       commotion 
        Bm\....                F#\....                  B\ \ \ \  B\ \ \ \ 
             Before you show me      some real emotion 
 
(CHORUS - REPEAT AND FADE) 
 
I like to play B7 instead of B in the verses.  I also like to play B7 in 
place of E in the last half bar of verses 2 and 3 (leading into chorus).
