Shanty

Words & Music:

Jonathan Edwards

 

G

Gonna sit down in the kitchen and fix me something good to eat.

C7

Make my head a little high and make this whole day complete.

          G              E7            A7        D7        G

IĠm gonna lay around the shanty, mama, and put a good buzz on.

 

Well, pass it to me, baby, pass it to me slow.

We'll take time out to smile a little before we let it go.

WeĠre gonna lay around the shanty, mama, and put a good buzz on.

 

Well there ain't nothin' to do and there's always room for more.

Fill it, light it, shut up and close the door.

WeĠre gonna lay around the shanty, mama, and put a good buzz on.

 

Gonna sit down in the kitchen and fix me something good to eat.

And make ourselves a little high and make the whole day complete.

WeĠre gonna lay around the shanty, mama, and put a good buzz on.

G     G/F#  G/F  E7

Every night and day!

WeĠre gonna lay around the shanty, mama, and put a good buzz on.
