			     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

        Bflat dim                    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    A7 
Beauty just doesn't suit me




       D         Bm
For beauty is a harlot

     G   Gm       Dsus4   D	
An easy lay for lazy artists


           Bflat dim             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                     A7 
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

            Bflat dim                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                       A7
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

        Bflat dim                  Bm        Bm/A
She will toy with your defenceless heart and leave you

Gadd#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

 	Bflat dim         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
