Verse 1:
C F
Pale, pubescent beasts,
G Am Am/G
Roam through the streets and coffee-shops.
Dm7 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 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 G Am Am/G
Young, uniform minds, 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 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.
