Shirin - Jens Lekman


E5                     A5
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
E5                     A5
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin


     E5              B5
When Shirin cuts my hair
            C#5
it?s like a love affair
          A5                 F#5
Let those locks fall to the ground
            B5
or let them stay there


              A5
I show her my passport
            B5
what I look like
             F#5                 A5
But she just smiles and lets me know
                B5
it?s gonna be all right

Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin

Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin

When Shirin cuts my hair

her mama's sitting in the rocking chair

She tells me stories from the war

in Iraq cause they were there

Shirin pulls my head to the side

but in the mirror I can see

a tear in her eye

Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin

A5              F#5
Your hands are soft
A5               F#5              E5
your hands are soft just like silk
E5               C#5
You're a drop of blood
E5                C#5                   A5
You're a drop of blood in my glass of milk
A5              F#5
Your hands are soft
A5              F#5            E5
your hands are soft just like silk
E5                C#5
You're a drop of blood
E5                C#5                  B5
You're a drop of blood in my glass of milk


E5 , A5 x2

When Shirin does her magic
to my frizzy straws
Immigration and tax represantatives
stumbled upon the lot

But what if it reaches the government
that you have a beauty salon
in your own apartment

I won?t tell anyone!
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
I won?t tell anyone!
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
I won?t tell anyone!
