1.      I tried to find out what love is all about,

A

    and every day, at three, when school lets out.

D

    I see my baby, I get weak in my knees,

A

    there's nothin’ shakin’, but the leaves on the trees.

            E                                     D

    My pappy told me there'd be times like these,

2.       I meet the gang  and go to Rocking Joe's.

A

    the cats are stomping on their heels and toes.

D

    I grab my baby, try to give her a squeeze.

A

    there's nothin’ shakin’, but the leaves on the trees.

D

    She's got a way that makes me act like a fool.

        A

    spent my money, then she plays me cool.

        D

    I beg her for kisses on my bended knees :

                           B7                                           E

    Oh, won't you give me some loving, baby, please, please, please !

 

    A

3.      Though I keep trying hard to make her mine,

A

    one day the wind will blow and sun will shine.

D

    Till that time she puts my heart at ease,

 

 

 

 

A

    there's nothin’ shakin’, but the leaves on the trees.

             E                                  D

    She locked my heart and threw away the keys,
