David Byrne

i like david byrne and i assume you do as well.
this song is pretty east to play. its just basic chords with a few little licks
intermittently. listen for the timing.


intro:
D9 | B7 |:
D7 | D9 | F#m | B7 |
B7 | A | B7 | E |:

D9 B7
Some men desire a princess
D9 B7
And others lust for a temptress
D7 D9 F#m B7
Well I don't need one of those cause,
B7 A B7 E
My love is you
B7 A B7 E
My love is you

D9 B7
Some men replace their mamas
D9 B7
And some want a young baiana
D7 D9 F#m B7
I have no use for those cause,
B7 A B7 E
My love is you
B7 A B7 E
My love is you

Bm
Sometimes dear
F#7
You tell me I'm an asshole
G Em | E
Sometimes you're an asshole too
Bm
Even though we're
F#7
Filled with imperfections
G B | E
I don't think any less of you


(Repeat intro)

D9 B7
I'm primitive and selfish
D9 B7
I'm childlike and I'm helpless
D7 D9 B7
Well, I got that way because of
B7 A B7 E
My love for you
B7 A B7 E
My love is you
B7 A B7 E
My love is you
