Verse 1:

C                F                        G                  Am
 Pale, pubescent beasts, roam through the streets and coffee-shops.
      Dm7            F                           Eb
Their prey gather in herds, of stiff knee-length skirts,
                C#
And white ankle-socks.
    C                       Am                  G                   Am
But while they search for a mate, my type hiber-nate, in bedrooms a-bove,
    D7           F     G  C
Com-posing their songs of love.

Verse 2:

C               F                 G                 Am
 Young, uniform minds, in uniform lines and uniform ties.
    Dm7                     F                    Eb                   C#
Run round, with trousers on fire and signs of de-sire they cannot dis-guise.
      C              F                      G                    Am
While I, try to find words, as light as the birds, that circle a-bove,
   D7        F     G  C
To put in my songs of love.

Bridge 1:

Ab            Bb        C               Am
 Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.
Ab          Bb           C             G
 Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.

Verse 3:

   C                    F                 G                  Am
So sing while, you have time, 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  Eb  C#
C  F  G  Am, D7  F  G  C

Bridge 2:

Ab            Bb        C               Am
 Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.
Ab          Bb           C             G
 Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.

Verse 4:

         C                    F                  G                Am
So let's sing, while we still can, while the sun hangs, high up a-bove.
D          F        Am   C    D7        F     G  C
 Wonderful songs of lo...ove, beautiful songs of love.
