Don't deny your man's desire

You'd be a fool to stop this tide
C                             Fmaj7
Spread your wings and let me come inside 'cause

Don't say a word my virgin child
C                   Fmaj7
Just let your inhibitions run wild
C               Fmaj7
The secret is about to unfold
C                    Fmaj7
Upstairs before the nights too old 'cause
C                   Fmaj7
Tonight’s the night

It's gonna be all right 
          Dm

Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
 
C  Fmaj7  C  Fmaj7……continue and fade……………..
 
It's a bit of a faff tuning a semi-tone down but it makes the fingering dead easy.  Enjoy........

Great chart mate. Thanks. Lovely mellow song. Regards tuning down a half tone, it also plays pretty easy if you transpose it down 3 then you can use a capo on 2 to play along with the original.
