Beauty - Tim Minchin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This song is actually in the key of Eflat, however I have tabbed it out in D.
This allows you to play most of the chords open and it sounds much better.
To play the song in its original key, put a capo on the first fret.
The song should be picked, not strummed. Listen to it to get a better idea.

D Bm
Beauty is a harlot
G Gm Dsus4 D
She will dance with any bastard
Bbdim/F# Bm Bm/A
She's undiscerning in her choice of partners
Gadd#11
I could have her of course if I wish
F#m
But I object to her promiscuousness
Em A Bbdim7
Beauty just doesn't suit me
D Bm
For beauty is a harlot
G Gm Dsus4 D
An easy lay for lazy artists
Bbdim/F# Bm Bm/A
I won't be fooled by her vulgar charm
Gadd#11
It is the easiest trick in the book
F#m
Music's the worm and beautys the hook
Em
And I know you would swallow her whole
A Bbdim7
But Im not here to pander to souls
D Bm
For beauty is a siren
G Gm Dsus4 D
Trying to draw me from my chosen mission
Bbdim/F# Bm - Bm/A
I won't be tempted by her seductive singing
Gadd#11 F#m
On principle I refuse to be party to her abuse
Em
It is not my job to squat in the gutter
F#m
Sharing the teat with you beauty drunk suckers
G
You paid to see satire and rage
A Bbdim7
I swear I won't let beauty set foot on this stage
D Bm
For beauty is a siren
G Gm Dsus4 D
A spotlight hungry superficial harlot
Bbdim/F# Bm Bm/A
She will toy with your defenceless heart and leave you
G(add#11)
Tear streaked when the lights come on
F#m
You look around to find her gone
Em
And despite your sighs you've not a clue
A A7
That as you fell from her she stole from you
D Bm
For beauty is a harlot
G Gm Dsus4 D
She will lie with any two bit artist
Bbdim/F# Bm Bm/A
And for all those other bastards
G Gm D - Bm
She seems to come so easily
G A7 D
But she comes too hard for me
