[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. :)
