Jackson Browne – Live Nude Cabaret (Guitar)

  F#m
I went to the live nude cabaret

   Dmaj7
To see what I could see

      F#m
And I saw the ladies dancing

      Dmaj7               C#7
And I guess that they saw me

F#m                       Dmaj7
Neither did I vanquish or surrender to desire

    F#m        
But what I saw revealed to me

         C#7              F#m 
Was just more fuel on the fire

     F#m 
I’ve heard form follows function

      Dmaj7
And I think that much is true

F#m
Especially when you think of

         Dmaj7            C#7
What the female form will do

    F#m                   
Its lines and shapes are everywhere

   Dmaj7
As if they follow me

  F#m                       C#7          F#m
Repeating my own longing in everything I see

E       A/E       E       C#(#5)/F                   
Star of happiness star of love

         F#m
Lead us to the shore

                Dmaj7            C#7
That only women hold the promise of

F#m
Men would give them money

    Dmaj7
And men would give them gold

    A                   
And shower them with promises

   C#7
Of luxury untold

    F#m
And make their vessels of creation

    Dmaj7
The temples of our souls

F#m    C#7           F#m
Ohhhhh let my people go

E      A/E        E      C#(#5)/F   
Sea of loneliness sea of love

      F#m    
Carry me upon our endless depths

    Dmaj7         C#7
And bear my heart above

    F#m
For I would give her money

    Dmaj7
And I would give her jewels

    A                          C#7
And lead her to the palace my imagination rules

    F#m
And fashion from her nakedness

    Dmaj7
The innocence that’s gone

F#m                              C#7          F#m
Gone as the time she’s given the suffering of fools
