  SHAKY TOWN  -  Danny Kortchmar

  

  This song emerged on the Jackson Browne album, 'Running on Empty'. 

  Danny is a great guitarist and writes good songs, too. I'm surprised 

  more country bands haven't taken up this number. The slide solo was 

  played by David Lindley so it's fairly inimitable, but any picking 

  that follows the verse chords will do. For the intro, stay on

  the D shape and pick out the single notes on the G and D strings.

  I like to play the D7 with a hammered on F#, i.e. 2X0210. 

  

  (intro) DD DD DD DD C D Em  -  D7 G

  

  G       G7           C

  I've witnessed those one night stands

  D         D7          C        G

  Must have played in a thousand bands

      D                              C    D  Em     G   

  But I'm just here tonight tomorrow I'll be gone

        G7              C

  Seen folks show their blacker sides

  D        D7           C       G

  Seen 'em die just for foolish pride

  	     D                               C    D   Em    

  And those drivers always ask to hear that same old song

  

  (G G7) 

  			  C

  That's a big ten four

  		   D

  By your back door

  		    C      G

  Just put that hammer down

  G7             C                     A

  This young man feels, those eighteen wheels

            D                               C  D   Em

  That keep turnin round to take me down to Shaky Town

  

  

  

  

  And I've heard all those hard luck tales

  From all of you US males

  I've heard you tell those lies about the loves you've known

  And I've followed your highway signs

  And I've run down your thin white lines

  Like those drivers this old road is all I call my own

  

  That's a big ten four

  By your back door

  Just put that hammer down

  This young man feels, those eighteen wheels

  That keep turnin round to take me down to Shaky Town

  

  

  solo and repeat chorus plus. . .

  

  G                   C   D Em

  All the way down to Shaky Town

  

  C           G

  Shaky Town
