The Art Teacher by Rufus Wainwright

Looking at, the art - teacher (E7E7)
I was, just a girl then (G+G)
Never have I, loved, since then (G+G)

He was not that much older than I was (he had) (BB)
Taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum (E7E7)
He asked us what our favorite work of art was (G+G)
And never could I tell him, it was him (G+G)
Oh I wish I could tell him . . . (C majorC)
Oh I wish I could have told him (G+G) [hold 2-extra measures]

I looked at the Reubens and Rembrandts (BB)
I liked the John Singer Sergeants (E7E7)
He told me he liked Turner (G+G)
Never have I, turned since then (G+G)
No never have I turned to any other man (G+G) [solo over verse]

Never have I, loved since then (G+G)
