INTRO: guitar plays eight bars of E while mandolin plays recurring melody.
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).
