Absolutely great song by the Smithereens, and easy to play and sing. The chorus
could be subdivided more but this charts a solid course. There is some controvery
about the girl named. The right name is Jeannie Shrimpton, an "it girl" from the
1960s, check her out on Google Images. Good Luck, John Pineau
