[Verse 1]
 
A                Dadd9
Pale, pubescent beasts
                 E
Roam through the streets
          F#m11
And coffee shops
      Bm7            D
Their prey gather in herds
                     Cadd9
Of stiff knee length skirts
                Bb9/F
And white ankle socks
    A                       Dadd9
But while they search for a mate
             E
My type hibernate
            F#m11
In bedrooms above
B7              D    Dadd9/E    A    Asus4 A Asus4 A
Composing their songs of love
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 A              Dadd9
Young, uniform minds
              E
In uniform lines
           F#m11
And uniform ties
      Bm7
Run round
                   D
With trousers on fire
                  Cadd9
And signs of desire
                Bb9/F
They cannot disguise
 A              Dadd9
While I try to find words
                E
As light as the birds
              F#m11
That circle above
B7            Dadd9/A  Dadd9/E  A    Asus4 A Asus4 A
To put in my songs of love
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Fmaj7           Dm6        A             A/F#
Fate doesnt hang on a wrong or right choice
Fmaj         Dm6        A/E          E7
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
   A                   Dadd9
So sing while you have time
            E               F#m11
Let the sun shine down from above
    B7         Dadd9/A  Dadd9/E     A    Asus4 A Asus4
And fill you with songs of love
 
 
[Solo]
 
A Dadd9 E F#m11 Bm D Cadd9 Bb9/F
 
A Dadd9 E F#m11 B7 D Dadd9/E A
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Fmaj7         Dm6        A              A/F#
Fate doesnt hang on a wrong or right choice
Fmaj         Dm6           A/E            E7
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
  A                   Dadd9
So lets sing while we still can
         E               F#m11
While the sun hangs high up above
 B7         D   E  F#m F#m/E
Wonderful songs of love
B7         D    Esus4(E) A
Beautiful songs of love

Like it a lot, but how the heck one is supposed to play that ghastly Bb9/F? I guess there's a thumb involved, but it's an extremely uncomfortable position for a wrist.

Excellent tab. Thanks. I would never have played the Dm6. Lovely. I'll just play the straight Bb9, that bottom F is an F too far for me. :)
