Loudon Wainwright III - I wish I was A Lesbian.wmv chords
Start Jamming...
[Em] Okay, I'm [B] riding around in this car, this woman that I'm close to a couple times a week.
[G] I'm noticing she's [C] looking out of the window and noticing other women.
Now this one looks, isn't her hair lovely?
What a nice outfit.
I said, babe, what is the deal?
You're noticing all these other chicks.
[Ebm] Maybe.
She looks at me and she says, I wish I was a lesbian.
Now at that point, I wanted to say, you mean you wish you were a lesbian?
Because [Em] grammatically, but I let [D] it slide.
I didn't want to ruffle any feathers.
But you know, [G] that sentence, that retort, I wish I was [Cm] a [Bb] lesbian,
kind [A] of stuck in the old loud rose mind.
[Db]
Kind [Eb] [G] of gestated there for [A]
seven, [Gm] eight minutes.
And this tune [E] popped out.
I [Em] wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.
I wouldn't have to mess with men and all their come and go.
And all that awful [A] facial hair and yucky eye gizmo.
[E] Oh, I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero.
[Em] I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight.
[Em] I would sleep with women only.
[B] Man, it would be [E] great.
I could throw [A] away my diaphragm.
I wouldn't want to make.
[E] Oh, I wish I was a lesbian and I wasn't straight.
[G] I [A] [Em]
[Bm] [Em] [A]
[Em] [Bm] [E] wish I [A] was a [E] lesbian.
I'd like to be a tight guy.
I would hang with Katie Lang, [G] Mel Gibson, take a hike.
[E] I think it [A] would be nice to love someone who was alike.
Oh, [E] I wish I was a lesbian and I'd like to be a tight guy.
I wish I [A] was a lesbian.
[E] That's why this [A] song is sung.
[E] It shouldn't have to matter [B] how someone is hung.
[E] Other things are [A] more important.
Like how I use your tongue.
[E] I wish I was a lesbian.
That's why this song is sung.
[G] [A] [Em] [A] [Em]
[Bm] [Em] [A] I dare Casey Kasem to play this.
[E] [D] [E]
I wish [A] I was a lesbian.
I know it's sad but true.
But maybe [Em] I might understand you guys and all you do.
But if I wasn't a [A] lesbian I wouldn't have to.
[Em] Oh, I wish I wasn't a lesbian [Bm] and I wasn't [E] totally sexual.
I wish I [A] wasn't a lesbian [E] and I'm not a hetero.
[A] I wouldn't [Em] have to mess with men and their kind of goat.
All that hateful [A] hair.
I hate that.
Oh, [E]
I wish I wasn't [B] a lesbian and [E] I'm not a hetero
I wish I wasn't a lesbian and I'm not a [A] hetero
I wish I wasn't [D] a lesbian and [E] I'm not a heteroo
