Verse 1:

C majorC        FF
 Pale, pubescent beasts,
         G+G         A minorAm
Roam through the streets and coffee-shops.
   Dm7Dm7      FF
Their prey gather in herds,
           Eb MajorEb           C#C#
Of stiff knee-length skirts and white ankle-socks.
  C majorC            A minorAm
But while they search for a mate,
       G+G          A minorAm
My type hiber-nate, in bedrooms a-bove,
  D7D7      FF   G+G C majorC
Com-posing their songs of love.

Verse 2:

C majorC        FF
 Young, uniform minds,
      G+G         A minorAm
In uniform lines and uniform ties.
  Dm7Dm7           FF
Run round, with trousers on fire,
        Eb MajorEb          C#C#
And signs of de-sire they cannot dis-guise,
   C majorC       FF
While I, try to find words,
        G+G          A minorAm
As light as the birds, that circle a-bove,
  D7D7    FF   G+G C majorC
To put in my songs of love.

Bridge 1:

AbAb      Bb majorBb    C majorC        A minorAm
 Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.
AbAb     Bb majorBb      C majorC       G+G
 Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.

Verse 3:

C majorC          FF
So sing while, you have time,
      G+G         A minorAm
Let the sun shine, down from a-bove;
  D7D7      FF   G+G C majorC
And fill you with songs of love.

 Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.
AbAb     Bb majorBb      C majorC       G+G
 Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.

Verse 3:

C majorC          FF
So let's sing, while we still can,
       G+G        A minorAm
While the sun hangs, high up a-bove.
D MajorD     FF    A minorAm  C majorC
 Wonderful songs of lo...ove,

 Beautiful songs of love.
