accurate, so I'm gonna offer some corrections:

                     Ebmaj7/9               C#7/9
Of stiff knee-length skirts and white ankle-socks.
    C (x32010@1)                     F/CBut (133211@1)while they search for a mate,

                Ebmaj7/9             C#7/9
And signs of de-sire they cannot dis-guise,
      C (x32010@1)           F/CWhile (133211@1)I try to find words,
                G (320003@1)        G#o7     Am (x02210@1) Am/GAs (302210@1)light as the birds that circle a-bove,

 Beautiful songs     of love.


(( 
The D/F# is sometimes played withoud a third, more of a Dsus2/F# or 
even D7sus2/F#. Not always clear, just play as you like it...
I haven't noted all the slash chords and bass lines, only where it seemed
appropriate and sounded good :)
