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
