[First Part]
A Psychedelic invocations
E Of Mata Hari at the station
B I give to you
A A Java princess of Hindu Birth
E A woman of flesh a child of earth
B I give to you
A The hanging gardens of Babylon
E Miles Davis the black unicorn
B I give to you
A The Palaces of Montezuma
E And the Gardens of Akbar's tomb

A The spider Goddess and the Needle Boy
Continues after the ad
E The slave-dwarves they employ
B I give to you
A A custard-coloured super-dream
E Of Ali McGraw and Steve McQueen
B I give to you [Chorus]
A E C'mon baby, let's get out of the
B cold
A And give me, give me, give me your
E B precious love for me to hold [Second Part]
A The epic of Gilgamesh
E A pretty little black A-line dress
B I give to you
A The spinal cord of JFK
E Wrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee
B I give to you
A I want nothing in return
E Just the softest little breathless word
B I ask of you
A A word contained in a grain of sand
E That can barely walk can't even stand
B I ask of you [Chorus]
A E C'mon baby, let's get out of the
B cold
A And give me, give me, give me your
E B precious love for me to hold
A E C'mon baby, let's get out of the
B cold
A And give me, give me, give me your
E B precious love for me to hold
