CAPO ON 4th FRET
Intro:
Em G D Am7
Em G
If I were you (and I wish that I were you)
D Am7
All the things I’d do to make myself turn blue
Em G
I suppose I’d start by removing all my clothes,
D Am7 C
tie my pantyhose around my neck
Chorus:
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I’ll be that girl — and you would be right over
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
If I were a field, you would be in clover
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
If I were the sun, you would be in shadow
G Cadd9 Em
And if I had a gun, there’d be no tomorrow
G
If you will not have me as myself,
D
perhaps as someone else
Am7 Em
Perhaps as you I’ll be worth noticing
G
Then even a eunuch won’t resist
D Am7 C
The magic of a kiss from such as me
Chorus
Break:
G Cadd9
It’s time to kick off your shoes,
? G
learn how to choose sadness
Cadd9
It’s time to throw off those chains,
?
addle our brains
G
with madness
Cadd9
‘Cause we’ve got plenty of time
?
to grow old and die
G
But when at last your beauty’s faded,
C Em
you’ll be glad that I have waited for you
G D Am7
Em
When you’re done
G
with being beautiful and young
D Am7 C
When that course is run, then come to me
Chorus
