Bbm7          Cm7           Eb9(13) 
Drive west on Sunset to the sea 
                 Ab/Db  
Turn that jungle music  
Ab13 
down 
                 Ab9(13)                              
Just until we're out of  
Bbm7                        
town 
           Cm7       Dm7(9)                 Bbm7 
This is no one night stand, it's a real occasion 
                           Cm7 
Close your eyes and you'll be there 
       
    Eb/F             Bb7M 
It's everything they say 
     E7/5-           Eb7M(6) 
The end of a perfect day 
        A7(5-)      A7(13-)    D5 
Distant lights from across the bay 
        Dm7 Dm7  
Babylon sisters,

Shake it

So fine, so young

Here come those Santa Ana winds again 
   
               Cm7              Eb9(13)                  Ab/Db  Ab13 
We'll jog with show folk on the sand, drink kirschwasser from a shell 
            F#7M       Bbm7 
San Francisco show and tell 
              Cm7     Dm7(9)  
Well I should know by now 
                   Bbm7 
That it's just a spasm 
                 Cm7  
Like a Sunday in T.J 
          Eb/F               Bb7M 
That it's cheap but it's not free 
         E7/5-             Eb7M 
That I'm not what I used to be 
         A7(5-)       A7(13-)  D5 
And that love's not a game for three 
D5      Dm7 Dm7  
Babylon sisters  
Eb    F/Eb  Eb5  C6/9 
Shake it 
D5      Dm7 Dm7

Tell me I'm the only one 
Ebm7            Db7M              B7M   
Here come those Santa Ana winds again 
  
               Cm7      
My friends say no  
      Dm7(9) 
Don't go 
               Bb7M  
For that cotton candy 
                        Cm7 
Son you're playing with fire 
    Eb/F              Bb7M  
The kid will live and learn 
       E7/5-             Eb7M                 
As he watches his bridges burn 
         A7(5-)   A7(13-)  
From the point of no  
  D5 
return 
D5      Dm7 Dm7  
Babylon sisters  
Eb    F/Eb   
Shake it 
D5      Dm7 Dm7  
Babylon sisters  
Eb    F/Eb   
Shake it 
            F6(9) 
So fine, so young

Tell me I'm the only one
