Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
She  is juniper and roses
She  is amethyst and pearl
 And though she makes her home
 in Hollywood
She's  really just a Berkeley girl
 She's the breeze on Sunday morning
Blowin'  down the country lane
 She's got the style of Paulette Goddard
And  the smile of Joan Fonteyne
 And she drives  a Carmen  Ghia
 Through the streets  of Silver  Lake
 And the hills  of  Echo  Park
She  is crinoline and satin
She  is leopard skin and lace
 Hard to believe that she believed in me
When  I was such a hopeless case
 And she knows from love and service
Yes  she knows from peace of mind
 To be not sinister in purpose
 And  to never be unkind
 And she loves  a Tulsi  garden
 And she loves  her rock  and roll
 And she's never far  from  my mind
No...........
She  is juniper and roses
Guess  I'll say it once again
 And though we are no longer lovers
I  know she'll always be my friend
So  if you ever ride beside her
Travellin'  down the one – oh – one
 Be thankful that you're with a Berkeley girl
 Who's beautiful beneath the moon and the sun
Ahaaaa...............Ahaaaa.............Ahaaa......ah.....ah
Ahaaaa...............Ahaaaa.............Ahaaa......ah.....ah
 Mmmmmmmmm..........
 Ahaaaaa............Berkeley girl
