Chords

[Intro] D [Chorus]
        C                     G
I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell

     D                        G
I've known her since God only knows and I won't tell

  C                                  G
I caught her the first time that she stumbled and fell

    D                             G
And Shirley, she knows me just as well
[Verse]
      C                             G
I can tell you her birthday and her daddy's middle name

    D                                 G
The uncles on her mama's side and the one's they don't claim

           C                             G
What she's got for Christmas since 1952

    D                                                    G
And that's only the beginning of the things I could tell you
[Chorus]
        C                     G
I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell

     D                        G
I've known her since God only knows and I won't tell

  C                                  G
I caught her the first time that she stumbled and fell

    D                             G
And Shirley, she knows me just as well
[Verse]
      C                              G
I can tell you her favorite song and where she likes to park

    D                          G
And why to this very day she's scared of the dark

C                                 G
How she got her nickname and that scar behind her knee

D                                                           G
If there's anything you need to know 'bout Shirley just ask me
[Verse]
  C                                 G
I know where she's ticklish and her every little quirk

    D                              G
The funnies she don't read and her number at work

  C                           G
I know what she stands for and what she won't allow

D                                                      G
The only thing that I don't know is where she is right now
[Chorus]
            C                     G
But I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell

     D                        G
I've known her since God only knows and I won't tell

  C                                  G
I caught her the first time that she stumbled and fell

    D                             G
And Shirley, she knows me just as well
[Outro]
   D                            G
Oh Shirley she knows me just as well

C                D       G
Theeeeeeeeeeeee  Ennnnnnndddddddd
