If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
-------------------(C) Play Part 1, then continue with Part 2
15 miles to the... Love Shack!
(Part 2)
Love Shack yeah yeah
I`m headin` down the Atlanta highway, lookin` for the love getaway
Headed for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it`s as big as a whale and we`re headin` on down to the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
(Part 3)
Love Shack baby, Love Shack ba-by.
Love baby, that`s where it`s at,

Sign says.. (Woo)... stay away fools, `cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Bb -----C------------Bb---C---------------Bb---C---------------Bb---C -- (Play Part 4)
Well it`s set way back in the middle of a field, just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Play Part 2 here...(refer to other parts thereafter...etc...)
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
Chorus:
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby!
Love Shack, that`s where it`s at!
Huggin` and a kissin`, dancin` and a lovin`, wearin` next to nothing
Cause it`s hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies!
The whole shack shimmies when everybody`s
Movin` around and around and around!
Everybody`s movin`, everybody`s groovin` baby!
Folks linin` up outside just to get down
Everybody`s movin`, everybody`s groovin` baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!
Part 3: (Guitar solo=variations of Part 3 tab)
Hop in my Chrysler, it`s as big as a whale
and it`s about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So come on, and bring your jukebox money.
(Chorus)
1.Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Knock a little louder baby!
2.Bang bang bang on the door baby!
I can`t hear you..
3.Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Knock a little louder sugar!
4.Bang bang bang on the door baby!
I can`t hear you!

6...
7...
You`re what?!!!...
Tin roof, rusted!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that`s where it`s at
Huggin` and a kissin`, dancin` and a lovin` at the love shack
