[Chorus 1]

G   D    Em          D               C         D          Em   Bm7
Shirley,    it's quite exciting to be sleeping here in this new room
G    D   Em          D        C         D     Em   Bm7
Shirley, you're my reason to get out of bed before noon
G    D   Em          D          C          D     Em     Bm7
Shirley,   you know when we sat out on the fire escape talking
G    D   Em            D         C       D            Em    Bm7
Shirley,  what did you say about running before we were walking

[Instrumental]

Am7   C

[Verse 1]

    Am7                 C                    G        D        Em    D
Sometimes when we're as close as this   It's like we're in a dream
Am7                       C                  D             D
How can you lie there and think of England   When you don't even know
who's in the team

[Chorus]

G      D      Em       D           C       D        Em      Bm7
Shirley, your sexual politics have left me all of a muddle
G      D    Em       D       C    D       Em    Bm7
Shirley, we are joined in the ideological cuddle

[Instrumental]

Am7   C

Am7               C                    G           D         Em   D   
I'm celebrating my love for you     With a pint of beer and a new tattoo
Am7                C                          D
And if you haven't noticed yet     I'm more impressionable when my cement
is wet

[Instrumental]

G       D          C            D
G       D          C            D

[Bridge]

Em            B
Politics and pregnancy
     Am                       C
Are debated as we empty our glasses
   G    D           Em       C        D
And how I love those evening classes

[Chorus 3]

G    D    Em          D               C       D        Em      Bm7
Shirley, you really know how to make a young man angry
G   D    Em          D               C          D         Em   Bm7
Shirley, could we get through the night without mentioning family

[Instrumental]

Am7   C

[Verse 3]

Am7                  C                    G    D        Em   D
The people from your church agree    It's not much of a career
Am7                C                  D
Trying the handles of parked cars      Whoops,there goes another year
D                           D
Whoops,there goes another pint of beer

[Instrumental]

G   D    Em          D               C       D        Em      Bm7
G   D    Em          D               C       D        Em      Bm7

Am7   C

[Verse 4]

Am7                C
Here we are in our summer years
G         D             Em        D
Living on ice-cream and chocolate kisses
Am7                 C
Would the leaves fall from the trees
 D
If I was your old man and you were my missus

[Chorus 4]

G     D             Em              D           
(Shirley),  give my greetings to the new brunette
G     D             Em              D
(Shirley),  give my greetings to the new brunette
G     D             Em              D
(Shirley),  give my greetings to the new brunette
G     D             Em              D           
(Shirley),  give my greetings to the new brunette
G     D             Em              D
(Shirley),  give my greetings to the new brunette
G     D             Em     
(Shirley),   brunette . . . . . . . .
