[G][A]

[Verse 1]
Well I [D]was sittin' in a smokey room,
band playin' rock [G]and roll,
[Em]Everybody [G]burnin',
[A]yearnin' for some alcohol.

[Verse 2]
I got up to buy the wine,
when I saw Shirley [G]Jean,
Pow[Em]dering her [G]nose,
pos[A]in' like a movie queen.

[Bb]Shirley Jean, sweet little seven[D]teen,
[Bb]Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine.

[Verse 4]
[D]I tried to give her a[A] sign,
[D]but she was too high to [G]see,
[Em]Sittin' and [G]starin',
[A]carin' not a thing for me.[D]
Woo!
Sweet little Shirley [A]Jean,
[D]sure lookin' good to [G]me,
[Em]Jet black stocki[G]ngs,
[A]rockin' to the bebopbea[G]t.

[Verse 5]
[G]Tell by the way she was actin',
musta' had a whole lot to hide,
[A]She's got a whole lotta lovin',
all bottled up [D]inside.[G][Em][A][D][G][Bb][D][Bb]

I [A]ain't [D]goin to say a word,
can't find a word [G]to say,
You [Em]ain't gonna [G]get [A]me,
let me tell you right away.
[D]

[Verse 7]
I gave up and wandered out,
when I saw the reason [G]why,
Hugging [Em]little [G]Shirley,
[A]a c[D]urly h[A]eaded hone[G]y pie.
