  			SHAKING OF THE SHEETS 


G                D 
Dance, dance the shaking of the sheets 
C            D                              
Dance, dance when you hear the piper 
G        D 
Playing, everyone must dance 
    Em             D           Em 
The Shaking of the Sheets with me 

Em                     D                         
Bring away the beggar, bring away the king 
    Em           D    Em 
And every man in his degree, 
Em                    D 
Bring away the oldest and the youngest thing 
Em                D      Em 
Come to death and follow me 

Em                          D 
Bring away the merchant who made his money in France 
Em             D      Em 
And the crafty banker too, 
Em                      D 
When you hear the piper you and I must dance 
    Em              D        Em 
The dance that everyone must do. 

G                D 
Dance, dance the shaking of the sheets 
C            D                              
Dance, dance when you hear the piper 
G        D 
Playing, everyone must dance 
     Em            D           Em 
The Shaking of the Sheets with me 

     Em                               D 
Iâ??ll find you in the courtrooms, I'll find you in the schools 
Em                D     Em 
When you hear the piper play, 
      Em                          D 
Iâ??ll take away the wise men, I'll take away the fools 
    Em          D             Em 
And bring their bodies all to clay. 

Em                     D 
All the politicians of high and low degree, 
Em               D         Em 
Lords and ladies great and small, 
Em                                 D 
Donâ??t think that you'll escape and need not dance with me, 
     Em                 D    Em 
Iâ??ll make you come when I do call. 

G                D 
Dance, dance the shaking of the sheets 
C            D                              
Dance, dance when you hear the piper 
G        D 
Playing, everyone must dance 
    Em             D           Em 
The Shaking of the Sheets with me 

   Em                    D 
It may be in the day, it may be in the night, 
    Em                D         Em 
Prepare yourselves to dance and pray 
Em                              D 
That when the piper plays ``The Shaking Of The Sheetsâ??' 
Em                D         Em 
You may to Heaven dance the way. 

G                D 
Dance, dance the shaking of the sheets 
C            D                              
Dance, dance when you hear the piper 
G        D 
Playing, everyone must dance 
    Em             D           Em 
The Shaking of the Sheets with me
