OK, Everybody, Sing: Shut Down

Shut Down by The Beach Boys

  Tach it up, tach it up. Buddy, gonna shut you down

(Ooh, rev it up, now)
It happened on the strip, where the road is wide
Two cool sharks standin' side by side
Yeah my fuel-injected Sting Ray and a 413
We're revvin' up our engines and it sounds real mean

  Tach it up, tach it up. Buddy, gonna shut you down

(Ooh, move it out, now)
Declinin' numbers at an even rate
At the count of "1" we both accelerate
My Sting Ray is light, the slicks are startin' to spin
But the 413's really diggin' in

  Gotta be cool now, power shift, here we go

Superstock Dodge is windin' out in low
But my fuel-injected Sting Ray's really startin' to go
To get the traction, I'm a-ridin' the clutch
My pressure plate's burnin', that machine's too much

SOLO (like bridge)

(Ooh, honkin' on, now)
Pedal's to the floor, hear his dual quads drink
And now the 413's lead is startin' to shrink
He's hot with ram induction but it's understood
I got a fuel-injected engine sittin' under my hood

  Shut it off, shut it off. Buddy, now I shut you down (4x)
  Shut it off, shut it off. Buddy, gonna shut you down

"... incredible! Thanks so much for doing this and making the files available online."

"As a lifelong musician who has waded through stacks of poorly transcribed songbooks, I was ecstatic to see that someone finally got it right. Alan Deane was painstaking - and more importantly accurate - in his work on these tricky transcriptions. Bravo, Alan!"
Gus Russo,
author and musician

"I've compared these music charts to books you'll find at your local guitar store, and there's no comparison. These charts are more accurate, more easily understood, and FREE. Great job, Alan!"
