Verse 
G        C          C*   A    G     D                   G 
When you shook your long hair down, when you sat beside me, 
G      C       C*      A     D             G 
All my terrors came to town, they began to ride me, 
Em         Bm                Em         D 
I was left without a word, I lost the situation, 
G            C          C*   A    G     D                  G 
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation. 

G        C          C*   A    G     D           G 
When you shook your long hair down, my defences crumbled, 
G       C   C*   A  G      D                G 
Feeling I became to grown, all my words got jumbled, 
Em               Bm              Em              D 
Not a word would come to mind, I felt a child of seven, 
G        C          C*   A    G       D               G 
When you shook your long hair down, I saw one hope of heaven. 
Em         Bm                   Em        D 
I was left without a chance, no hope of a returning, 
    G       C      C*  A G     D                 G 
Oh, in your eyes I saw a light of all my bridges burning. 

Verse 
G       C         C*   A G      D             G 
Now you know your hardly there, you?d already warned me, 
G       C       C*   A G     D                 G 
With my heart already there, you had to go and stun me. 
Em              Bm               Em              D 
Took the ribbon in your hand and pulled it to it parted, 
    G        C          C*   A    G     D                 G 
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you know what you started.

When you shook your long hair down, when you sat beside me, 
G        C     C*   A  G    D             G 
All my terrors came to town they began to ride me, 
Em         Bm              Em           D 
I was left without a word, I lost the situation, 
    G        C          C*   A    G     D                  G 
Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation,

Oh, when you shook your long hair down, you shook my whole foundation.
