Songs Of Love

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
Ebadd9                 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
