Verse 1:
E                                  
What should I compare you to, that 
B               E
sun on winter's day?
A               E                
Tulips standing proud and bright 
     B              B7
when all around is grey
E                             
What should I compare you to, a 
  B          E
comet or a star?
  A              E                
A little flicker where you've been
      B                    E
 or a lighthouse where you are?
     A             E          B  
Well I'm a certain person who 
             E
sees a sense of life
     A                E           
That hides behind the glory days 
   B              E
and only shines at night

Chorus:
                         E       
You're just a little red rooster; 
                       B
she's an old speckled hen
       B7                          
You've fallen in love once before, 
                   E   E7
now it's happening again
                 A            D
Just do what you use to, I'll do 
         A      F#m
what I ca a a an
              E                 
And she'll be once, twice, three 
            B                     
times your lady, and I'll be her 
A   E
man

Verse 2:
E                                  
What should I compare you to, that 
B             E
window facing south?
     A               E            
That captures sun in tiny frames 
   B                    B7
and throws it round the house
E                             
What should I compare you to, a 
  B            E
compass or a stone?
    A                   E         
The rock that holds the whole 
              B                    
thing down or the hand that points 
E
you home?
     A             E          B  
Well I'm a certain person who 
             E
sees a sense of life
     A                E           
That hides behind the glory days 
   B              E
and only shines at night

Repeat Chorus:

   A             E            
So listen up you middle aged or 
  B              E
slightly older men
A                   E            
If they look old to you my 
      B                E
friend, you sure look old to them
A                  E           B
Take this from the rooster who 
                  E
found his speckled hen
     A             E           
It's never down to who you love; 
       B              E
it's purely down to when
