Casanova In Hell

Intro: A  D-5  D x2

A            D-5  D
The girl's perfection 
A         D-5  D
Inspires affection 
Bm               E
It's queer that here 
                   C#m
He can't cast his spell 
        F#m
In her direction 
           D               E7 
Somewhere near one senses fear 
             A   D  F
Casanova in Hell 

A          D-5  D
The girl is naked 
A         D-5  D
The boy is naked 
Bm        E
He hides inside 
          C#m              F#m
A secret chamber, there to gape 
                  D
Through a velvet drape 
              E7
And dream of rape 
             A
Casanova in Hell

A  A7/G  D/F#  F6 x2 

A          D-5  D
Her sharp suggestion 
A                   D-5  D
He couldn't get an erection 
Bm         E
Came as a shock 
          C#m
He finds himself 
            F#m
A laughing stock 
            D
His ageing fate 
         E7
To contemplate 
             A   D  F
Casanova in Hell 

A            D-5  D
Back in the library 
A                  D-5  D
His revenge is his story 
Bm            E
What he will write 
                C#m
Will recall the bite 
                F#m          D
Of his wit and legendary appetite 
        E7
The sybarite 
             A   A7/G
Casanova is well 
                     
                     D/F#       F6
For Casanova has the last laugh 
                          A      A7/G
Creates the myth and vindication 
               D/F#    F6
Of his sexual vocation 
                        A       A7/G
Makes the definitive collection 
                          D/F#
His lives and lovers and above all 
      F6
His erection 
      A      D  F  A
Will live in history
