F#m
Blue Betty takes herself down
D
To the shadiest part of town
F#m
Where the thieves and killers run
D
Lonely daughters and forgotten sons

G
Upon the bridge and there's no one around
Em
Blue Betty's gonna figure it out

Chorus:
                F#m
She shakes and moves
                D
She shakes and moves
                Bm
She shakes and moves
                G
She shakes and moves
                F#m
She shakes and moves
                D
She shakes and moves
                Bm
She shakes and moves
                G
She shakes and moves
                F#m
Until she's done
     D
Ooh-ooh

Upon the wire where the blue birds fly
Blue Betty starts to climb
She sees the world in space and time
Our Betty had a colourful mind

You know daddy said it best
Nobody else is gonna clean up your mess

Chorus:
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
Until she's done
Until she's done
Until she's done
Until she's done

F#m             E
No more longing, no more games
    D                   A
No wicked feelings and nothing to stress about
No conversations, no one gets hurt
No more sadness and nothing to stress about
No more parties and no more hurt
No anxious nice words and nothing to stress about
Nothing to stress about

Chorus:
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves
(She shakes and moves)
She shakes and moves
She shakes and moves

Until she's done
Until she's done (She's done)
Until she's done
Until she's done (She's done)
Until she's done
