[Verse 1]
       Am                        Esus  E
At the bar there's a girl in the shadow

        Esus         E     Amadd9 A
Sitting still like a nun unknown

          Dmadd9        Dm
Though an attic full of strangers

         Amadd9      Am
May hold many hidden dangers

          D7b5/B
There's a quality I like-
N.C. She's alone
     Am                     Esus   E
So I pause and I wink and I shudder

        Esus         E             Amadd9 Am
Just to bring her attention in line

          Dmadd9          D
While her pastures may be greener

      Amadd9      Am
I can tell by her demeanor

      F7/B
She's mine!

       Fm7/E
That's fine...
[Chorus]
        A            Amaj7
I need a good-natured, old-fashioned

A6      Aaddb6
Lesbian love story

    Bm              Gmaj7        A#aug  Bm7 F7
The kind of tale my mama used to tell

          Bm7                D/E E7
Where the girls were so sweet

        C#m7             A6
And the music would swell

    Bm7            F7                   C#sus      E6
And in the end the queen would send the men off to hell

             A             Amaj7
What is that mild-mannered, old-fashioned

A6      Aaddb6
Lesbian love story

      Bm7         Bm6     C#7/B    D    Dm
Where people knew exactly who they were?

           F#m7     A6
I want the story of yore

                D#dim7       D#dim7/C#
That they don't sing anymore

      D6            E6        Am
To an old-fashioned dyke like her
[Verse 2]
         Am                       Esus  E
See that girl on the bed, how she wants me

        Esus        E             Amadd9 Am
She's a bee I could free from the hive

        Dmadd9     Dm
I would never dare deceive her

        Amadd9      Am
She's a very clever beaver

       D7b5/B
With a quality I like -
N.C. She's alive
     Am                        Esus   E
So I pause and I twitch in the silence

        Esus             E             Amadd9 Am
While I pray that she'll play out this hand

      Dmadd9       Dm
But I feel my intuition

        Amadd9     Am
Saying "Notice her position" -

          F7/B
Start the band!

              Fm7/E
She's clearly manned
[Chorus]
            A              Amaj7
I planned a well-rendered, one-gendered

A6      Aaddb6
Lesbian love story

     Bm                 Gmaj7        A#aug Bm7 F7
With good old-fashioned sex in every line

      Bm6              D/E E7
Where girls with tattoos

      C#m7        A6
would whimper and whine

      Bm7                F7
While on all fours, "you show me yours

    C#sus         E6
And I'll show you mine."

            A             Amaj7
I miss that soft-hearted, old-fashioned

A6      Aaddb6
Lesbian love story

      Bm7           Bm6   C#7/B      D Dm
Where women wrestle bears and passersby

            F#m7     A6
The kind of story so good

                D#dim7      D#dim7/C#
That they won't tell in my 'hood

      D6            E6
To an old-fashioned dyke like -
[Bridge]
D6
I'm gorgeous

Dm6
I'm single

A           F#7
I'm bustin' with laughs

   B C#m7
So why

      Dm7 D#dim7
Can't I

   A                 E7
Be just in two short paragraphs of a
[Chorus]
A           Amaj7
You betcha, damn funny

A6      Aaddb6
Lesbian love story

    Bm                Gmaj7           A#aug Bm7
The kind of yarn that turns a girl to mush

F7          Bm6         D/E
Choose from hundreds of blondes

E7       C#m7           A6
But when shove comes to push

  Bm7          F7             C#sus            E6
I understand a bird in hand's worth two in the bush
N.C. Sweet Jesus!
A               Amaj7
Let's hear that old-fashioned

A6      Aaddb6
Lesbian love story

      Bm7
Where girls are girls

   Bm6        C#7/B  D  Dm
And boys stay out to sea

     F#m7                A6
I'll write a new one and then

               D#dim7 D#dim7/C#
I'll make them tell it again

      F#m7 Fm7 E6
To an old-fashioned

N.C. Eaug/D
dyke

N.C. E6/D
Like

A
me!
