capo on the 3rd fret 

  
INTRO - C (with some suspended 4ths thrown in) 

C            F9    
Pale, pubescent beasts roam through the  
G               Am7 
streets and coffee-shops 
      Dm7           F                   
Their pray gather in herds of stiff knee-length  
Eb9                   Db9 
skirts and white ankle-socks 
    C                      F9    
But while they search for a mate my type hiber- 
G              Am7 
nate in bedrooms above 
   D7            F9     F/G    C 
Composing their songs          of love 

{as verse 1} 

Young, uniform minds in uniform 

lines and uniform ties 

Run round with trousers on fire and signs of 

desire they cannot disguise 

While I try to find words as light as the 

birds that circle above 

To put in my songs of love 


Ab           Fm6       C            Am7 
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice 
Ab        Fm6             C/G          G 
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice 
   C                   F9    
So sing while you have time 
          G                 Am7 
Let the sun shine down from above 
    D7              F9     F/G      C 
And fill you with songs      of love 

{INSTRUMENTAL - based on verse} 

{As above} 

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice 

Fortune depends on the tone of your voice 

So let's sing while we still can 

While the sun hangs high up above 
D7        F9     F/G      Am      Am/G 
Wonderful songs           of love 
D7/F#        F9      F/G      C 
Beautiful songs   of       love
