Shirin - Jens Lekman
 
[Chorus]
Emaj7                 Amaj7
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
Emaj7                 Amaj7
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
 
[Verse 1]
     E              B
When Shirin cuts my hair
            C#m
it’s like a love affair
          F#m               Amaj7
Let those locks fall to the ground
            B
or let them stay mid-air
 
              F#m
I show her my passport
 Amaj7       B
what I look like
             F#m                 Amaj7
But she just smiles and lets me know
                B
it’s gonna be all right
 
[Chorus]
Emaj7                 Amaj7
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
Emaj7                 Amaj7
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
 
[Verse 2]
     E              B
When Shirin cuts my hair
                          C#m
her mama's sitting in the rocking chair
             F#m              Amaj7
She tells me stories from the war
              B
in Iraq cause they were there
 
                F#m  Amaj7   B
Shirin pulls my head to the side
            F#m
but in the mirror I can see
   Amaj7      B
a tear in her eye
 
[Chorus]
Emaj7                 Amaj7
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
Emaj7                 Amaj7
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
 
[Bridge]
A              F#m
Your hands are soft
A               F#m              Emaj7
your hands are soft just like silk
                C#m
You're a drop of blood
Emaj7            C#m                   A
You're a drop of blood in my glass of milk
               F#m
Your hands are soft
A              F#m            Emaj7
your hands are soft just like silk
                 C#m
You're a drop of blood
Emaj7            C#m                  B
You're a drop of blood in my glass of milk
 
[Interlude]
Emaj7  Amaj7  x2
 
[Verse 3]
      E               B
When Shirin does her magic
      C#m
to my frizzy straws
      F#m                A
Immigration and tax representatives
         B
stumble upon their laws
 
                F#m    Amaj7     B
But what if it reaches the government
                F#m
that you have a beauty salon
        A        B
in your own apartment (I won’t tell anyone!)
 
[Chorus]
Emaj7                 Amaj7
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin (I won’t tell anyone!)
Emaj7                 Amaj7
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin (I won’t tell anyone!)
 
[Outro]

Yes, quite good thanks, Emaj7 though if y'wanna sound like Jens!

Don't you think it sounds better in the bridge to go to A at end of the first "glass of milk" line, and stay on A until going to F#m on the word "soft"? Like this: E C#m E You're a drop of blood in my glass of milk F#m Your hands are soft...

Thanks Alduuuh_! I had been toying around with these chords for a long time trying to figure just the right order. I think this is 100% correct, awesome job! Thanks for the lyrics too!
