Tom: C

Intro:    C  F  G  C

C                   F          G
She is juniper and roses

                     C
She is amethyst and pearl

                                  F              G
And though she makes her home in Hollywood

                             C
She's really just a Berkeley girl

                          F            G
She's the breeze on Sunday morning

                         C
Blowin' down the country lane

                          F               G
She's got the style of Paulette Goddard

                          C
And the smile of Joan Fonteyne


           G7            Dm
And she drives a Carmen Ghia

             G7              Dm
Through the streets of Silver Lake

        G
And the hills of Echo Park



C                     F          G
She is crinoline and satin

                         C
She is leopard skin and lace

                            F               G
Hard to believe that she believed in me

                            C
When I was such a hopeless case

                             F            G
And she knows from love and service

                             C
Yes she knows from peace of mind

                       F             G
To be not sinister in purpose

                   C
And to never be unkind



           G7              Dm
And she loves a Tulsi garden

           G7              Dm
And she loves her rock and roll

           G
And she's never far from my mind


No...........


C                    F           G
She is juniper and roses

                       C
Guess I'll say it once again

                             F           G
And though we are no longer lovers

                           C
I know she'll always be my friend

                       F            G
So if you ever ride beside her

                               C
Travellin' down the one – oh – one

                               F                G
Be thankful that you're with a Berkeley girl

                                         C
Who's beautiful beneath the moon and the sun

C                      F                                   C
Ahaaaa...............Ahaaaa.............Ahaaa......ah.....ah

C                      F                                   G
Ahaaaa...............Ahaaaa.............Ahaaa......ah.....ah
