Big Bay Shuffle (CHORDS) by Jeff Daniels
D G
I wanna tell you a story about a trip I took a little while ago
D A7
Across that Mackinaw Bridge right past the Sault (Soo)
D G
There’s nothing ‘round but logging trucks and pasty shops
E7 A7
17,..000 tourists takin’ snapshots of the view from Route 2
D G
Oh my Lord,.. I was getting’ kind of thirsty
D A7
And they say in Marquett the Sunset beer tastes fine
D G
So I shut her down outside the Lumberjack Tavern
E7
Walked in through the screen door
A7
Nearly blew my down state mind
D G
Oh my Lord,.. she was over by the jukebox
D A7
Shuckin’ and a-chuckin’ and a-jivin’ to beat the band
D G
Well,.. I put two beers on the table close enough to touch her
E7
She’d plate another quarter and pick four more tunes
A7
Then walked right over and took my hand
D G
And said,.. Hey,.. Let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
D A7
Get your feet and fingers movin’ right
D G
Said,.. Hey,.. let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
A7 D
We’ll be Big Bay Shufflin’ all night
D
She shuffled to the left,.. shuffled to the right
G
Then she shook her hands
D A7
Said,.. Boy,.. now I’ll show you what that jukebox can do
D
So I moved to my left,.. moved to my right
G
Then I waved my hands
E7
Inside a minute I was so damn good
A7
I could shuffle all the way to Kalamazoo
D G
Said,.. Hey,.. let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
D A7
Get your feet and fingers movin’ right
D G
Said,.. Hey,.. let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
A7 D
You’ll be Big Bay Shufflin’ all night
[Instrumental]~
D G
After fifteen minutes that bar was filled with residents
D A7
‘Bout 4am,.. no one was tired yet
D G
Big Bay was alive,.. a-kickin’ and a-grinnin’
E7
Just in there boogeyin’ to Engelbert Humperdinck and
A7
Conway Twitty and Tammy Wynett
D G
Said,.. Hey,.. let’s do the Big Bay Shuffle
D A7
Get your feet and fingers movin’ right
D G
