This is a great gig song. You should play this song before your break. That way
you can take even a 20 min break and the crowd will still be smiling when you return.

There are some more variations but you'll get the hang of it. Most of them are
combinations of the above. I use some other variations cuz my band plays a funk
version of this song. You should try it. This is mostly it, except that I
haven't had the patience to put it all 2gether so you'll have some work to do.
Good luck.
LYRICS
/*1,2,3,*/If you see a faded sign at the
side of the road that says 15 miles to the...
Love Shack!
Love Shack yeah yeah
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_b_52s/love_shack_btab.html ]
/*1,2,3,*/I'm
headin' down the Atlanta high-
way, 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
/*1,2,3,*/The
Love Shack is a little old place where
/*1,*/we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack ba-by.
Love baby, that's where it's at.
Love baby, that's where it's at.
Sign says.. (Woo)... stay away fools,
'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field, just a
funky old shack and I gotta get back.
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
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 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.
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together.
Love Shack baby!
Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
I can't hear you..
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Knock a little louder sugar!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
I can't hear you!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby!
Bang bang on the door baby!
Bang bang on the door!
Bang bang on the door baby!
Bang Bang...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
