Shannon and the Clams is an American indie garage punk quartet based in Oakland, California. Known for a vintage sound that incorporates elements of doo-wop, classic R&B, garage psych, and surf, the band has drawn comparisons to both Buddy Holly and 1960s girl groups.
Like a Beach Rock revival, Shannon and the Clams take you back to a time when Judy and Johnny were your favorite worst couple, with the help of some very heartbreaking background vocals and guitar riffs of which The Beatles would be proud.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Verse 1] AF#m I see the morning sun although my eyes are shut EF#m I'm in somebody's bed, I wonder what I said AF#m She reaches out for me but I'm 32 degrees EF#m There is nothing to say, I just want to escape
[Chorus 1] DBm Well I never wanted love DBm It always seemed too much AF#m Was born a lonely one AF#m With a bad broken toe DBm And even though I try DBm It finds me every time AF#m We fall right back in line AF#m You tie your hands to mine AF#m You tie your hands to mine AF#m You tie your hands to mine

[Verse 2] AF#m I wake up on a drive, I see a stranger sky EF#m Don't speak to anyone, cover myself in blood AF#m I get lonely again, something I can't resist EF#m I want you in my game, I want to say your name
