[Intro] - A  B  E

E                                                           A
Well I was sittin' in a smokey room, band playin' rock and roll,
F#m                B                     E
Everybody burnin', yearnin' for some alcohol.

E                                             A
I got up to buy the wine, when I saw Shirley Jean,
F#m                  B                      A
Powdering her nose, posin' like a movie queen. E|-----------|
                                               B|-2-3-5-3-2-|
                                               G|-2-x-x-x-2-|
                                               D|-2-4-5-4-2-|
                                               A|-0-0-0-0-0-|
C                               E              E|-----------|
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
C                                B
Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine.

E                                                     A
I tried to give her a sign, but she was too high to see,
F#m                    B                    E
Sittin' and starin', carin' not a thing for me.

Woo!
E                                               A
Sweet little Shirley Jean, sure lookin' good to me,
F#m                     B                  A
Jet black stockings, rockin' to the bebop beat.

A
Tell by the way she was actin', musta' had a whole lot to hide,
B
She's got a whole lotta lovin', all bottled up inside.

Woo!

(Slide Solo) - E  A  F#m  B  E

(Piano Solo) - C  E  C  B

E                                                 A
I ain't goin to say a word, can't find a word to say,
F#m                     B                      E
You ain't gonna get me, let me tell you right away.

E                                                 A
I gave up and wandered out, when I saw the reason why,
F#m                     B                     A
Hugging little Shirley, a curly headed honey pie.

C                               E
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen
C                                     B
Shirley Jean, sweet little lovin' machine, well

C                               E
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
C                               B
Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine.

A      B      A       B    and end on B
Let me grease your machine!
Let me check your oil.
Woo!
Sure looks good to me!
