Shake The Sugar Tree

Pam Tillis

Composed by: Chapin Hartford
key: D Tuning: E A D G B E
D                    
Love, you're getting lazy.
D                    
You're forgetting to give me
G                        D 
   Sweet sugar,words that I wanna hear.
           A
You been neglecting me,
         A                                       D
You know jealousy it is bitter as a green spring berry.
              D            
And just like fruit from a fickle vine,
    D                
You turn sweet in the nick o' time.
G              
Love, you only come alive
            D
When you're losing me.
           A 
And it's a childish game,

I gotta shake you up just to wake you up
            D
To make you love me.

[Chorus]
D
I'll shake the sugar tree,
                              G A D
'til I feel your love falling all around me.
          A
You gotta tend to what you planted,

And if you take my love for granted, baby,
  D       A    G
I'll shake the sugar tree.

D

[Verse 2]

D
Another night and you're sleeping,

I'm awake and I'm dreaming.
G                               D
Oh honey, 'bout the way that it used to be.
         A
A little time's gone by,

Do you think that I'm content with the cooking and the payin' the rent? 
                        D
No I wanna know if your love's all spent!

[Chorus]

D
I'll shake the sugar tree,
                              G A D
'til I feel your love falling all around me.
          A
You gotta tend to what you planted,

And if you take my love for granted, baby,
  D     A      G
I'll shake the sugar tree.

[Bridge]
A                       E
  I've got to raise some commotion,
A                        E
  Before you show me some real emotion.

[Chorus]

D
I'll shake the sugar tree,
                              G A D
'til I feel your love falling all around me.
          A
You gotta tend to what you planted,

And if you take my love for granted, baby,
  D     A      G
I'll shake the sugar tree.
