This might just be the greatest dumb garage-rock song ever written.

Sometimes you hear people talk about 'believing in rock n' roll'.  You
have to beleive in something to sing this song with a straight face.  I
prefer to sing it with an adolescent snarl.


SHAKE SOME ACTION
Jordan/Wilson
recorded by The Flamin' Groovies, 1976

Am      F      C  Csus C

    Am     F        C  Csus C
To get to you some day.
        F             F              C    Csus C
Oh, but I, babe, I'm so afraid I'll fall, yeah.
     F         F       Am    F
Now can't you hear me call?


F    Am     F       Am      F    Am
Shake some action's what I need
           F       Am       F    Am
To let me bust out at full speed.
      F          Am      F    F
I'm sure that's all you need
                 C
To make it all right.

|F    |F   |C    |F    |


It's taken me so long
To get where I belong
Oh, but, oh, please don't send me back that way, yeah.
For I will make you pay.

(refrain)

(guitar solo over:

|:Am    |F    |C    |F    |Am    |F    |C    |F   :|

|:F     |F    |C    |F    :|


If you don't dig what I say
Then I will go away.
And I won't come back this again. No.
'Cause I don't need a friend.

(refrain)

(guitar solo again)
