The Divine Comedy - Songs Of Love Chords & Tabs

Capo 3rd fret

INTRO - C (with some suspended 4ths thrown in) 

C            F9    
Pale, pubescent beasts roam through the  
G               Am7 
streets and coffee-shops 
      Dm7           F                   
Their pray gather in herds of stiff knee-length  
Eb9                   Db9 
skirts and white ankle-socks 
    C                      F9    
But while they search for a mate my type hiber- 
G              Am7 
nate in bedrooms above 
   D7            F9     F/G    C 
Composing their songs          of love 

{as verse 1} 

Young, uniform minds in uniform 

lines and uniform ties 

Run round with trousers on fire and signs of 

desire they cannot disguise 

While I try to find words as light as the 

birds that circle above 

To put in my songs of love

Ab           Fm6       C            Am7 
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice 
Ab        Fm6             C/G          G 
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice 
   C                   F9    
So sing while you have time 
          G                 Am7 
Let the sun shine down from above 
    D7              F9     F/G      C 
And fill you with songs      of love 

{INSTRUMENTAL - based on verse}

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice 

Fortune depends on the tone of your voice 

So let's sing while we still can 

While the sun hangs high up above

Wonderful songs           of love

Beautiful songs   of       love
