INTRO: A----
       B5 - E5 - A--(2x)


VERSE:
           A5
 I?m gonna take a leaf from books on gentle persuasion
 B5                 E5                      A5
 Whisper comforting words till the tempest is done
                      B5
 Wait till the darkness is gone,
 E5                  A5
 Sunshine after the shower
                           B5
 Today is today, there are many tomorrows
    E5
 So many, don?t stop me


CHORUS:
  A5               B5       E5
 Ooh, a gentle persuasion?
  A5                  B5      E5
 Ooh, a rush hour sensation?


VERSE:
           A5
 A rose by any other name would smell as sweet
   B5                 E5                      A5
 A face in my head I can?t keep my feet, I?m falling
                       B5
 Plant a garden for butterflies
 E5                         A5
 Flowers for the bee in my bonnet
                          B5
 Tonight I?m in spades of light in my heart
          E5
 Please indulge me, don?t stop me


CHORUS:
  A5               B5       E5
 Ooh, a gentle persuasion?
  A5                  B5      E5
 Ooh, a rush hour sensation?

 Ooh, the sweetest impression
    E5                     A5
 My lips on your lips I?m falling
                  B5        E5
 Ooh, a gentle persuasion..
  A5                  B5
 Ooh, a rush hour sensation
     E5                      A5
 The moment?s electric, I?m flying
                  B5       E5
 Ooh, a gentle persuasion?
