...SONGS OF LOVE... by Neil Hannon

*from 'Casanova' (1996)*


Intro:

    C               F  C  F     C               F  C  F

Verse 1:

C                F
 Pale, pubescent beasts,
                 G                  Am    Am/G
Roam through the streets and coffee-shops.
      Dm7            F
Their prey gather in herds,
                     D#                     C#
Of stiff knee-length skirts and white ankle-socks.
    C                       F
But while they search for a mate,
              G                   Am   Am/G
My type hiber-nate, in bedrooms a-bove,
    D7           F     G   C
Com-posing their songs, of love.

Interlude:

    C               F  C  F     C               F  C  F

Verse 2:

C               F                 G                 Am   Am/G
 Young, uniform minds, in uniform lines and uniform ties.
    Dm7                     F
Run round, with trousers on fire,
                D#                   C#
And signs of de-sire they cannot dis-guise.
      C              F
While I, try to find words,
                G                    Am   Am/G
As light as the birds, that circle a-bove,
   D7        F     G   C    F, C
To put in my songs, of love.

Bridge 1:

G#maj7        Dm7b5     C         C/B   Am
 Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.
G#maj7      Dm7b5        C             G
 Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.

Verse 3:

   C                    F
So sing while, you have time,
            G                  Am   Am/G
Let the sun shine, down from a-bove;
    D7            F     G   C
And fill you with songs, of love.

Interlude:

    C               F  C  F     C               F  C  F

C  F  G  Am  Am/G, D7  F  G  C, F  C, F

Bridge 2:

G#maj7        Dm7b5     C         C/B   Am
 Fate doesn't hang on a wrong, or right choice.
G#maj7      Dm7b5        C             G
 Fortune de-pends on the tone, of your voice.

Verse 4:

         C                    F
So let's sing, while we still can,
              G                Am   Am/G
While the sun hangs, high up a-bove.
D7         F     G   Am    C
 Wonderful songs, of love...
D7         F     G  (C)
 Beautiful songs, of love.
