Shake the Sugar Tree Chords

(ver. 1)
Pam Tillis
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).
