[Intro]
A    Asus4 A Asus4
 
[Verse 1]
A               D
Pale, pubescent beasts
                 E
Roam through the streets
           F#m7
And coffee shops
      Bm7            D
Their prey gather in herds
                     Cadd9
Of stiff knee length skirts
                Bb7
And white ankle socks
    A                       D
But while they search for a mate
             E
My type hibernate
            F#m7
In bedrooms above
B7              D        A    Asus4 A Asus4
Composing their songs of love
 
[Verse 2]
 A             D
Young, uniform minds
            E
In uniform lines
            F#m7
And uniform ties
     Bm7
Run round
                  D
With trousers on fire
              Cadd9
And signs of desire
             Bb7
They cannot disguise
 A                   D
While I try to find words
                E
As light as the birds
             F#m7
That circle above
 B7          D        A      Asus4 A Asus4
To put in my songs of love
 
[Chorus]
F            Dm        A              F#m7
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
F         Dm           A            E7
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
   A                   D
So sing while you have time
            E               F#m7
Let the sun shine down from above
    B7            D        A
And fill you with songs of love
 
[Instrumental]
A D E F#m7
Bm7 D Cadd9 Bb7
A D E F#m7
B7 D A Asus4 A Asus4
 
[Chorus]
F            Dm        A              F#m7
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
F         Dm           A            E7
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
   A                    D
So let's sing while we still can
            E               F#m7
While the sun hangs high up above
 B7          D   E   F#m7
Wonderful songs of love
 B7         D        A
Beautiful songs of love

Great tab! I like to put an E in between D and A for the "songs of love" lyrics, and add in F#m7/E after F#m7 the second time in each verse and chorus.

Sounds great. Add the Father Ted theme that's flying about and you have the whole song!
