Dm7 F Their prey gather in herds, Eb 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, Eb 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: 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 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 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 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.
