Shirin
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[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]
E G#m7 Amaj7 B (4x)
