INTRO: A----
       Bm - E - A--(2x)


VERSE:
           A
 I?m gonna take a leaf from books on gentle persuasion
 Bm                 E                      A
 Whisper comforting words till the tempest is done
                      Bm
 Wait till the darkness is gone,
 E                  A
 Sunshine after the shower
                           Bm
 Today is today, there are many tomorrows
    E
 So many, don?t stop me


CHORUS:
  A               Bm       E
 Ooh, a gentle persuasion?
  A                  Bm      E
 Ooh, a rush hour sensation?


VERSE:
           A
 A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
   Bm                 E                      A
 A face in my head I can?t keep my feet, I?m falling
                       Bm
 Plant a garden for butterflies
 E                         A
 Flowers for the bee in my bonnet
                          Bm
 Tonight I?m in spades of light in my heart
          E
 Please indulge me, don?t stop me


CHORUS:
  A               Bm       E
 Ooh, a gentle persuasion?
  A                  Bm      E
 Ooh, a rush hour sensation?
