Shirleys Her Name chords by Rory Mcleod

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

       C majorC                 A minorAm
Well it's so good to leave home 'cause it's so good to come back home

    C majorC         A minorAm
There's no easier place to find on a map

  C majorC             A minorAm
She cried to see us go and she cried to see us back

        C majorC             A minorAm
There's no one else in the world who ever loved us like that


Chorus:

G+G
Shirley's her name

          C majorC
but we call her our mum

     G+G
I call my dad "dad",

            C majorC
I feel like a prodigal son

Verse 2:

     C majorC            A minorAm
Well she feeds us like we haven't eaten for weeks

  C majorC              A minorAm
She spoils us and still wants to rock us to sleep

  C majorC               A minorAm
She woke us up, cooked for us and washed our clothes

      C majorC               A minorAm
She used to kiss our knees better, wipe my bubbly nose


Chorus:

G+G
Shirley's her name

          C majorC
but we call her our mum

     G+G
I call my dad "dad",

            C majorC
I feel like a prodigal son

Verse 3:

       A minorAm
Well she's so easy to please and she's so easily hurt

  D MajorD
She loved us even when we're covered in dirt

G+G              C majorC
Our mum works all night and day

      A minorAm
And she's a nurse when we fall, a policeman when we fight

 D MajorD
A augmentedA judge when we argue and a singer at night

G+G                C majorC
Our mum worked but she never got paid


     C majorC               A minorAm
Well you ought to see the way that she serves us

  C majorC         A minorAm
She leaves herself to last

        C majorC              A minorAm
And there were times when we wouldn't even help her and

   C majorC        A minorAm
She'd be too tired to ask

       C majorC           A minorAm
Well she's a cook, a washerwoman, a teacher and a wife

C majorC                A minorAm
She's our mum, she's the one who worked for our lives


Chorus:

G+G
Shirley's her name

          C majorC
but we call her our mum

     G+G
I call my dad "dad",

            C majorC
I feel like a prodigal son


Verse 5:

Well she's so easy to please and she's so easily hurt

  D MajorD
She loved us even when we're covered in dirt

G+G              C majorC
Our mum works all night and day

      A minorAm
And she's a nurse when we fall, a policeman when we fight

G+G                C majorC
Our mum worked but she never got paid


       C majorC                 A minorAm
Well it's so good to leave home 'cause it's so good to come back home

      C majorC        A minorAm
There's no easier place to find on a map

  C majorC             A minorAm
She cried to see us go and she cried to see us back

        C majorC             A minorAm
There's no one else in the world who ever loved us like that
