[Intro]
B                             F#
      This is a story 'bout a girl that I knew
           B
She didn't like my songs
         F#
And that made me feel blue
              D#             C#          E
She said: "A big band is far better than you"
 
(Here you can play 0 2 4 on the lower E string)
 
[Part I]
 
    A              Bbm11          Bm7         E
She don't rock 'n' roll,            she don't like it
    A              Bbm11          Bm7         E
She don't do the stroll, well she don't do it right
       A           A7           D            Dm
Well, everything's wrong and my patience was gone
       A
When I woke one morning
       E
And remembered this song
 
 
[Part I]
 
      A        Bbm11        Bm7        E
O-oh-oh,                        kinda catchy,
      A        Bbm11        Bm7        E
                                   I hoped
               A          A7       D       Dm
That she would talk to me now. And even allow me
   A
to hold her hand
       E
And forget that old band.
 
 
[Part II]
 
D                 Dm         A        A7
   I strolled around to her pad
D                 Dm            A     E
   Her light was off and that's ba- - -d
D               Dm         A            F#
   Her sister said that my   girl was gone
B                              E
   "But come inside, boy, and play, play, play me a song!"
 
 
[Part I]
 
         A       Bbm11       Bm7       E
I said "Yeah!                   Here I go"
      A        Bbm11       Bm7       E
         She's kinda cute; don't you know,
      A        A7      D         Dm
That after a while of seeing her smile
   A                        E
I knew we could make it, a-make it in style!

[Part II]
 
D                Dm        A        A7
     So now I've got all I need
D                Dm        A            E
         She and I are in love, we've agreed
D                  Dm          A            F#
    She likes this song and my   others too
B                                     E
       So now you see my world is...
 
 
[Part I]
               A       Bbm11      Bm7         E
'Cause of this tune!                What a boon
       A       Bbm11       Bm7       E
this tune!              I tell you soon
          A        A7   D       Dm
We'll be lying in bed, happily wed,
       A
And I won't think of that girl
    E
Or what she said...

I find that simply barré-ing the 6th fret works well for playing that D#11/A#, and it's a tad bit simpler to play as well. :)
