Give me Shakespeare (video)

G - Em - G - D

G

1. I really love you for your mind,

Em

and I know that we're two of a kind.

G

I don't go straight for that physical bit,

D

it always turns out a one-way trip.

E

But won't you come up to my room,

A

so we can discuss, say, Egyptian tombs,

D

or maybe just do a few little steps

D7

from one of our favourite Bolshoi ballets.

G D

Oh, give me Shakespeare instead of long French kisses,

G C D

give me Mozart instead of holding me tight,

G F D

give me Tolstoy instead of girl-talk drivel,

G D

like 'Baby, it's alright'.

G D

Give me Shakespeare instead of moonlight flirting,

G C D

give me Schubert instead of Hollywood tears,

G F D

give me Bolshoi instead of all-night hustle,

Em D G

give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali, and an evening at the opera !

+ D - G - D

G

2. I really love you as you are,

Em

and without make-up I think that you'll go far,

G

your clothes hide your figure beautifully,

D

it makes a lovely change, I mean that sincerely.

E

I've got so much respect for you,

A

and I know that you've got respect for me, too,

D

so let's go and relax on my bed,

D7

so we can confirm all that we've said. + CHORUS + D - G - D

Em

Writing and painting, poetry and neurology,

D

those are just some of my favourite things.

Em

Gershwin and Schumann, Newton and Rasputin,

A D

those are just some of my favourite people. + CHORUS + D - G - D

Em D

+ Give me Henry Moore, Salvador Dali,

G F - D

G F - D G F - D

Give me Shakespeare, o.......h ! Give me Shakespeare, o......h !
