Rose Tint My World - from the Rocky Horror Picture Show
------------------
Words and music by Richard O'Brien, around 1973.
C
(COLUMBIA) It was great when it all began
F C
I was a regular Frankie fan
C
But it was over when he had the plan
D G
to start working on a muscle-man
C
Now the only thing that gives me hope
F C
is my love of a certain dope
Rose tints my world keeps me
G F C
safe from my trouble and pain.
C
(ROCKY) I'm just seven hours old.
F C
Truly beautiful to behold.
And somebody should be told
D G
my libido hasn't been controlled.
C
Now the only thing I've come to trust
F C
is an orgasmic rush of lust
Rose tints my world keeps me
G F C
safe from my trouble and pain.
F Fm
(BRAD) It's beyond me. Help me, mommy.
C
I'll be good, you'll see. Take this dream away.
F Fm
What's this, let's see, I feel sexy.
C G
What's come over me. Whoa-- here it comes again.
F Fm
(JANET) Oh I--I feel released, bad times deceased
C
My confidence has increased. Reality is here.
F Fm
The game has been disbanded. My mind has been expanded
C G
It's a gas that Frankie's landed. His lust is so sincere.

Don't Dream It - from the Rocky Horror Picture Show
--------------
Words and music by Richard O'Brien, around 1973.
N.C. Am
(FRANK) Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
F G
That delicate satin-draped frame.
F G
As it clung to her thigh
C Am
How I started to cry
F G
'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same.
F Fm C C7
Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
F Fm C C7
Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
F Fm C C7
Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
F Fm C G
And sensual daydreams to treasure forever--
G7
Can't you just see it--oh oh ho.
C Am F G
Don't dream it. Be it.
C Am F G
Don't dream it. Be it.
(Repeated umptean times, the others join in and Dr. Scott
gives his speech:)
(SCOTT) We've got to get out of this trap
Before this decadence saps our wills.
I've got to be strong and try to hang on.
Or else my mind may well snap
Und my life will be lived for the thrill.
F Fm
(BRAD) It's beyond me. Help me, Mommy.
C G
(JANET) God bless Lili St. Cyr.
