Taylor Swift - Shake it Off

Originally in G, I play in G and sing down an octave.

Vox go from the low 1 up to the 5 1.5 octaves above, so I

don’t go down all the way on the chorus.

Intro percussion only, though playing the root helps find

the first vocal line.

Vox on the 5 of the key on “I”, and the 3 on “late”

I stay out too Amlate

Got nothing in my Cbrain

That’s what people Gsay, mmm

That’s what people say, mmm

I go on too many Amdates

But I can’t make ‘em Cstay

At least that’s what people Gsay, mmm

That’s what people say, mmm

But I keep Amcruisin’

Can’t stop won’t stop Cmoving

It’s like I got this Gmusic in my mind

No hard stop this time

Saying Git’s gonna be alright

Percussion out

I never miss a Ambeat

I’m lightning on my Cfeet

Percussion back in

And that’s what they don’t Gsee, mmm

That’s what they don’t see, mmm

I’m dancing on my Amown (dancing on my own)

I make the moves up as I Cgo (moves up as I go)

And that’s what they don’t Gknow, mmm

That’s what they don’t know, mmm

But I keep Amcruisin’

Can’t stop won’t stop Cgroovin’

It’s like I got this Gmusic in my mind

Hard stop on “it’s”

Saying it’s gonna be alright

Percussion only in the original, but way less awkward acoustic

to keep the chords going. Talk over the first part, sing the

second part on the chorus melody.

AmHey, hey, hey, just think

While you’ve been gettin’ down and out

About the lCiars and dirty, dirty cheats of the world

You Gcould’ve been gettin’ down instead

Hard stops on “this”, “sick”, and “beat”

To Gthis Gsick Gbeat

AmMy ex-man brought his new girlfriend

She’s like “Coh my god“ I’m just gonna shake it

To the Gfella over there with the hella good hair

Hard stops on “shake”, “shake”, “shake”

Won’t you Gcome on over baby we could Gshake Gshake Gshake
