Verse 1:
C                F
 Pale, pubescent beasts,

                 G                  Am    Am/G
Roam through the streets and coffee-shops.

      Dm             F
Their prey gather in herds,

                     D#                     C#
Of stiff knee-length skirts and white ankle-socks.

    C                       F
But while they search for a mate,

              G        E7/G#      Am   Am/G
My type hiber-nate, in bedrooms a-bove,

    D7           F     G  C
Com-posing their songs of love.

Verse 2:
C               F
 Young, uniform minds,

           G                 Am   Am/G
In uniform lines and uniform ties.

    Dm7                     F
Run round, with trousers on fire,

                D#                   C#
And signs of de-sire they cannot dis-guise.

      C              F
While I, try to find words,

                G           E7/F#    Am   Am/G
As light as the birds, that circle a-bove,

   D7        F     G   C    F, C
To put in my songs, of love.
Bridge 1:
G#maj7        Dm7b5     C         C/B   Am
 Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.

G#maj7      Dm7b5        C             G
 Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.
Verse 3:
   C                    F
So sing while, you have time,

            G                  Am   Am/G
Let the sun shine, down from a-bove;

    D7            F     G   C
And fill you with songs, of love.
Interlude:
