    For Our Elegant Caste

This song is basically bass, keyboard and drums. I've tabbed out all the 
different keyboard sounds on one stave for simplicity.


             Dm                    G7
We can do it softcore if you want
                              Am          C
But you should know I take it both ways
             Dm                    G7
We can do it softcore if you want
                              C            Am
But you should know that I go both ways


             Dm                    G7
We can do it softcore if you want
                              Am          C
But you should know I take it both ways
             Dm                    G7
We can do it softcore if you want
                              C            Am
But you should know that I go both ways

C

C                             Bb
Georgie said romantic love is flat
              Gm
(Georgie said that)
         Bbm                          F
Only for people with no real ambition in their life
(No life)
    
    C#aug                 Dm
But oh, List Christee disagrees
                  Am                     C
She sees into the core of my poor machine
(I'll tell you what she sees)
Bbm                        Gdim
Frightened cornered Gemini tactics and
Bbm                         Gdim
Attempts to crack the party code
And there's one more thing


We can do it softcore if you want
But you should know I take it both ways
We can do it softcore if you want
But you should know that I go both ways

Our bodies became what has been him so really turned on
Became a freaky permutation
Something like Voltron

           Bb                            Dm
Then I was wrapped in discourse with the magazine reader
Bb            Dm                        Gm                           Bb   F
The mutual conclusion was I'm not worth knowing because I'm probably dead
   G               Bb   F
So I'm exposed but no solution

D     D/F#    G7  A
  Lalalalalala
D     D/F#    G7  A
  Lalalalalala

Bb   Edim

We can do it softcore if you want
But you should know I take it both ways
We can do it softcore if you want
But you should know that I go both ways


Daug  Ebm
Oh 
C#7    Ebm
Lalala lalala

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
