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.
DDDDDDDDCDEmD7G
GI've witG7nessed those Cone night stands
DMust have D7played in a Cthousand Gbands
But DI'm just here tonight tomorrow CI'll Dbe Emgone G

That'Cs a big ten four
By yoDur back door
Just pCut thatG hammer down
G7This young man Cfeels, those eighteen Awheels
That keep Dturnin round to take me down to CShaDky TEmown
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
GAll the way down to CShakDy EmTown
CShaky Town G
