I was surprised, i was happy for a day in 1975
A#m G#m F# B C# B
I was puzzled by a dream, it stayed with me all day in 1995
A#m G#m F#
My brother had confessed that he was gay
B C# B
It took the heat off me for a while
A#m G#m
He stood up with a sailor friend
F# B C# B
And made it known upon my sisters wedding day
Etc.
Chorus («they dont seem to mind»…go to end of G#m, then chorus):
F#
I gave myself to sin
A#m E
And i’ve been there and back again
G#m
I gave myself to providence the state i am in
