[G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [G] [D] She was a [G]fast machine She kept her [C]motor clean She was the [D]best damn woman I had [G]ever seen She had the sightless eyes, Telling [C]me no lies [D]Knocking me out with those [G]American thighs

Taking [G]more than her share, Had me [C]fighting for air She [D]told me to come but I was [G]already there ‘Cause the [G]walls start shaking, The [C]earth was quaking My [D]mind was aching, And we were [D7]making it

And [G]you shook me [C]all [G]night [D]long [C] [D] And [G]you shook me [C]all [G]night [D]long [C] [D]

Working [G]double time on the [C]seduction line She was [D]one of a kind, She’s just [G]mine all mine She wanted no applause, Just [C]another course Made a [D]meal out of me and [G]came back for more

Had to [G]cool me down to take [C]another round Now I’m [D]back in the ring to take [G]another swing ‘Cause the [G]walls were shaking, The [C]earth was quaking My [D]mind was aching, And [D7]we were making it.

And [G]you shook me [C]all [G]night [D]long [C] [D] And [G]you shook me [C]all [G]night [D]long [C] [D] And [G]you shook me [C]all [G]night [D]long [C] [D] And [G]you shook me [C]all [G]night [D]long [C] [D]
