At the bar there's a girl in the shadow [E] Sitting still like a nun [Am] unknown
[Dm] Though an attic full of strangers [Am] may hold many dangers
[Fm] There's a quality I like She's [D#] alone
[E] [Am] So I pause and I wink and I shudder [E] Just to bring her attention in line
[Am] While [Dm] her pastures may be [Am] greener I can tell by her demeanor
[B] She's fine, [E]
that's fine
[B] I need [A] a good [C#m]-natured, old [F#m]-fashioned [A] Lesbian love story
[Bm] The kind of [G] tale my mama [B] used to tell [B] Where the girls were [E] so sweet
And the [C#m] music would swell [Bm] But in the [F] end the queen would [E] send the man
Where is [A] that mild [C#m]-mannered, old-fashioned [F#m] [F] Lesbian love story
Where people [G#] knew exactly who [D] they were
The [Dm] [F#m] story of yore that they [B] don't sing anymore Old [Bm]-fashioned, [E] dark, like [Am] her
See that girl on the bed?
How she wants me
[A] She's a bee [E] I could free from the hive [Dm] I would never dare deceive her
[Am] She's a very clever beaver [Fm] With a quality I [B] like
She's [E] alive
[Am] So I pause and I twitch in the silence
[E] While I pray that she'll play out this hand
[Dm] But I feel my intuition [Am] sing Notice her position
[B] Start the band [E]
She's clearly mad
[Fm] I [B] [G#] planned a [A] well-rendered, [F#m] one-gendered Lesbian [F] love story
[Bm] With good old-fashioned [G] sex in [A#] every line
[G#] [Bm] Where girls with tattoos [C#m] would whimper [C#] and whine
[Bm] While on all [F] fours you showed [C#] yours And [C#m] I'll show you mine
I [A] miss that soft [C#m]-hearted, old [A]-fashioned Lesbian love [Bm] story
Where women wrestle [C#] bears [D] and passers [Dm]-
The [F#m] kind of story so good that [B] they won't tell in my hood
[D] Who an old-fashioned [E] guy [D] I am
I'm gorgeous, I'm [A] single
I'm [F#] a man with laughs, so why [Dm] can't I?
[C] Just in two short [G#] paragraphs [A] of a You betcha!
[C#m] Damn [F#m] funny!
Lesbian love story
[Bm] The kind of yarn [G] that turns a girl [Bm] to mush
Choose from hundreds [E] of blondes
But [C#m] when shove comes to push

Sweet [A] Jesus!
Let's [C#m] hear that!
