Chords for Jesse Winchester - Sham-A-Ling-Dong-Ding

_ _ _ _ _
Oh, [D#m] oh, oh, oh, _ oh, [A] _ _ _
_ oh, oh, oh, _ [B] oh. _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ The boys were _ [C#m] singing, _ shingling, _ _ [F#m] the summer like we met. _
[A] _ _ [B] You were telling _ _ seventeen, _ _ [E] oh how could I [F#m] forget?
_ [B] _ _
_ _ [E] Well, every star [C#m] from near and far _ [F#m] was watching from _ above. _ _
[A] _ _ [B] Watching _ two _ teenagers _ fall in [E] _ _ love
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] The way we danced [C#m] was not a _ dance
[F#m] But more a long _ _ embrace _
_ [B] We held on to each other [F#] and
We [E] floated there in [F#m] _ space
[B] _ _
_ _ [E] And I was shy [C#m] to kiss you
While [F#m] the whole wide world could see _ _
[B] So _ _ shiverling said _ everything _ for [E] _ me _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] And all the poor [B]
old _ folks
_ [E]
They thought we'd lost our _ minds
_ _ [C#m]
They could not [G#m] make heads or tails
[F#m] Of the young folks' [F#] funny _ rhymes
[B] _ _ _ [E] But you and I [C#m] knew all the words
[F#m] And we _ always sang [F#]
along
_ _ _ To [E] _ old _ _ [C#m] _
_ Chablis, _ _ _
[F#m] don't _ dee _
[B] _ _ Chablis, _ [E]
dang _ gone
_ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] So after _ years [C#m] and after tears
[F#m] And after _ summers _ _ passed _
_ [B] The old folks tried to warn us [E] how
Our love would never _ [F#m] _ _ [B] last _
_ [E] And all we'd get [C#m] was soaking wet
From [F#m] _ walking in the _ rain _
_ [B] And seeing _ Chablis shivering [F#] _ _
_ _ [E] again _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] And all the poor [B] old, old folks
[E] They'd smile and walk _ away
_ _ [C#m] But I bet they did [G#m] some _ Chablis
_ [F#m] In _ _ _ [B] their day
_ _ _ [E] I bet that they [C#m] still close their _ eyes
[F#m] And I bet they sing _ [F#]
along
_ _ _ To [E] _ old _ [G#m] _ _
[C#m] Chablis, _ _ don't [F#m] _ _ dee _ _
[F#] _ _ _ Chablis, dang gone
[C#m] _ _ _
Sweet old love songs
[E] Boy, every word is true _ _ _ _
[C#m] Chablis, don't dee means _ sweetheart
_ _ [F#m] _
Chablis, dang gone [B] does too
_ _ _ [E] And it means that right [C#m] here in my arms
Well, [F#m] that's where you _ [A]
belong
_ [Am] _ _ _
[E] And it _ [F#] means _
[C#m] _ _ _ Chablis, _
_ [F#m] don't dee _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] Chablis, dang gone _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
