Shel Silverstein, The Beatles, Fats Waller
Key: C

7  -5 -5   6     7  7    -6 -5  6  -5*  -5
I wish I could shim-my like my sis-ter Kate
7     7   7   -7   7   8 -7* 7  6   5
She shiv-ers like the jel-ly on a plate
7* -7  7*  -7  7  7*  -7   7*    -7
My mam-my want-ed to know last night
7   -7   7   -7    7   -7   7   -7  7*  7
Why all the boys treat sis-ter Kate so nice

-5  6   7  -6 -5    6   -5*  -5
Ev-‘ry boy in our neigh-bor-hood
7       7  -7   7    8 -7*
Knows that she can shim-my 
7    -6   7  6    5
and it's un-der-stood
-7 7*  -7   -8   -7   -8  8  -8 -7   7 
I know I'm late, but I'll be up-to-date
6   -5* 6   -6  7   -6  7   6  -5    5
When I can shim-my like my sis-ter Kate

REPEAT &  end with:

-8 -7   -5*  5  -5*  5  -5* -5    5 
I mean, shim-my like my sis-ter Kate
