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
EmShe had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton Gback in 1965
She had Amlegs that never ended, I was Emhalfway paralyzed
She was tall and cool and pretty and she Gdressed as black as coal
If she Amasked me to I'd murder, I would Emgladly lose my soul
CHORUS:
GNow I lie in bed and Emthink of her
GSometimes I even Emweep
Then I Amdream of her Gbehind a wall of Emsleep
EmWell she held a bass guitar and she was Gplaying in a band
And she Amstood just like Bill Wyman, now I Emam her biggest fan
Now I know I'm one of many who would Glike to be your friend
And I've Amgot to find a way to let you know I'm Emnot one of them
[CHORUS]
EmGot your number from a friend of mine who Glives in your home town
Called you Amup to have a drink your roomate Emsaid you weren't around
Now I know I'm one of many who would Glike to be your friend
And I've Amgot to find a way to let you know I'm Emnot like them
[CHORUS]
AmBehind a Gwall of Emsleep
AmBehind a Gwall of Emsleep
AmBehind a Gwall of Emsleep
