Verse 1:
C F
Pale, pubescent beasts,
G Am
Roam through the streets and coffee-shops.
Dm7 F
Their prey gather in herds,
D# C#
Of stiff knee-length skirts and white ankle-socks.
C Am
But while they search for a mate,
G Am
My type hiber-nate, in bedrooms a-bove,
D7 F G C
Com-posing their songs of love.
Verse 2:
C F
Young, uniform minds,
G Am
In uniform lines and uniform ties.
Dm7 F
Run round, with trousers on fire,
D# C#
And signs of de-sire they cannot dis-guise,
C F
While I, try to find words,
G Am
As light as the birds, that circle a-bove,
D7 F G C
To put in my songs of love.
Bridge 1:
G# A# C Am
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.
G# A# C G
Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.
Verse 3:
C F
So sing while, you have time,
G Am
Let the sun shine, down from a-bove;
D7 F G C
And fill you with songs of love.
Solo:
C F G Am, Dm7 F D# C#
C F G Am, D7 F G C
Bridge 2:
G# A# C Am
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.
G# A# C G
Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.
Verse 3:
C F
So let's sing, while we still can,
G Am
While the sun hangs, high up a-bove.
D F Am C
Wonderful songs of lo...ove,
D7 F G C
Beautiful songs of love.
