capo on the 3rd fret 

  
INTRO - C5 (with some suspended 4ths thrown in) 

C5            F5    
Pale, pubescent beasts roam through the  
G5               A5 
streets and coffee-shops 
      D5           F5                   
Their pray gather in herds of stiff knee-length  
Eb5                   Db5 
skirts and white ankle-socks 
    C5                      F5    
But while they search for a mate my type hiber- 
G5              A5 
nate in bedrooms above 
   D5            F5     F5    C5 
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 


Ab5           F5       C5            A5 
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice 
Ab5        F5             C5          G5 
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice 
   C5                   F5    
So sing while you have time 
          G5                 A5 
Let the sun shine down from above 
    D5              F5     F5      C5 
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 
D5        F5     F5      A5      A5 
Wonderful songs           of love 
D5        F5      F5      C5 
Beautiful songs   of       love
