Intro
-----
[D7sus4] [D7sus4] [E] [Esus4] [E] [Esus4] [E]
[D7sus4] [D7sus4] [E]
Verse 1
-------
I love [Asus2]women but I'm thinking of [Amaj7]]giving in
I love [Asus2]women but what's the point of [Amaj7]arguing
With the [F]men from boarding schools and [C]building sites [Cmaj7]
Who've told [F]me I'm a homo[Gm6]sexual [E]all [Esus4]my [E]life
[A]One stop past Embankment and the [Amaj7]coughs begin
Hell hath no [A]fury like an insecure [Amaj7]Englishman
You [F]don't need psychoanalysts to trans[C]late this [Cmaj7]
'There is an [F]open homo[Gm6]sexual in our [E]midst [Esus4] {E]
Chorus
------
The homo[D7sus4]sexual they call me it's [C]all the same to me
That [Gm6]spectre they projected I will [A]now pretend to be
Since their neu[D7sus4]rosis is what passes for nor[C]mality
It's [Gm6]okay with me if I'm [A]queer
Since their tone-[D7sus4]deafness is called the love of [C]music
[Gm6]I won't disa[Am]buse them
I'll [G#m7]make love with their [Gm7]women [F#7]
I'll make them [Am]sing [G#m7]notes of [Gm7]pleasure [F#7]
Their [F]husbands will[Gm6] never hear[E]
[Asus2] [Amaj7] [Asus2] [Amaj7]
Verse 2
-------
I love [Asus2]women but I take them by sur[Amaj7]prise
Pretending [Asus2]absolute indifference
to their [Amaj7]breasts and thighs
Like their [F]hairdressers and dressmakers
I [C]hear confessionals [Cmaj7]
Re[F]served for homo[Gm6]sexual pro[E]fessionals [Esus4] [E]
As I [Asus2]put their feet in stirrups with my[Amaj7] limp wrist
(A trick I [Asus2]learned from a homosexual gynae[Amaj7]cologist)
I re[F]call the words my first girlfriend
[C]ended our first [Cmaj7]date with
'I feel [F]privileged you chose [Gm6]me to go [E]straight with'
Chorus
------
Mid8 (same as verse, but picked)
--------------------------------
[Asus2]You who called me shirt-lifter in [Amaj7]Chemistry class
[Asus2]You who sniggered 'Look out for your [Amaj7]arse'
[F]Now your women wash your shirts, [C]now your kids are [Cmaj]born,
[F]baby [Gm6]Look out for your [E]horns
[Asus2]You who called me teapot, who [Amaj7]plagued me with your bile
[Asus2]Guess who I've got coming to the [Amaj7]boil
[F]Why not grab the nettle
I'll settle for being the [C]kettle if you're the [Cmaj7]pot
I take my [F]tea like my re[Gm6]venge: [E]sweet [Esus4]and [E]hot
Chorus (final)
--------------
The homo[D7sus4]sexual they call me it's [C]all the same to me
That [Gm6]spectre they projected I will [A]now pretend to be
Since their neu[D7sus4]rosis is what passes for nor[C]mality
It's [Gm6]okay with me if I'm [A]queer
Since your tone-[D7sus4]deafness is called the love of [C]music
[Gm6]I won't disa[Am]buse you
I'll [G#m7]make love with your [Gm7]women [F#7]
I'll make her [Am]sing [G#m7]notes of [Gm7]pleasure [F#7]
That [F]you will never [Gm6]hear
Never [F]in a million [Gm6]years
[F] No [Gm6]fucking [E]fear
