Perfumed Garden Chords

(ver. 1)
The Chameleons
[Intro]
D   E   Asus4  x4

E6  G#m7  C#m  B6sus4  x2

[Verse 1]

        E6                   G#m7
You can seal your lips, you can shake your hips,
      C#m                       B6sus4
I can make that trip
E6                           G#m7
And all life's fears could invade my ears
      C#m                       B6sus4
I can handle it
      E6                  G#m7
I can call on a friend I can laugh with a friend
       C#m                     B6sus4
That I know from school
       E6                           G#m7
Oh and some of them won't 'cus they've still not discovered
      C#m                      B6sus4
The golden rule

[Chorus]

D               E        C#m7       F#m7
I thought some stories I heard from long ago
D    E                  C#m7       F#m7
As I went through the perfume garden
D         E               C#m7     F#m7
I haven't yet learned to tame the creature there
D         E        C#m7    F#m7
I think I might be onto something

E6  G#m7  C#m  B6sus4 x2

[Verse 2]

    E6                G#m7
All across the town and across the street
           C#m              B6sus4
You could feel the heat
       E6                        G#m7
Let me tell you, friend, they could hardly wait
      C#m                   B6sus4
To mark your sheet
       E6               G#m7
It was maximum joy for the men they employed
   C#m                      B6sus4
To hold you down
        E6                       G#m7
Well, I hope that now you know that this isn't the bliss
         C#m                B6sus4
That you thought you'd found

[Chorus]

D               E        C#m7       F#m7
I thought of stories I heard from long ago
D         E        C#m7   F#m7
Meant for my ears, no one else's
D         E              C#m7     F#m7
I haven't yet learned to tame the creature there
D         E        C#m7    F#m7
I think I might be onto something
D         E        C#m7     F#m7
I think I might be onto something

D         E        C#m7      F#m7    x3

C#m  B6sus2  G#m  Emaj9

[Verse 3]
C#m                   B6sus2
Listening hard for the voice of the child
G#m                   Emaj7
Thought I heard an alarm bell ringing
C#m                         B6sus2
Pulled from my sleep by invisible hands
G#m                  Emaj7
The lady dances, the lady singing.
C#m                 B6sus2
I see the faces come into the light
  G#m                       Emaj7
A carpet of light that they wrapped around me
C#m                     B6sus2
I had the good sense to bide my time
     G#m                Emaj7
From here on in we must move more slowly.

E6  G#m7  C#m  B6sus4

[Verse 1]

E6                           G#m7
You can seal your lips, you can shake your hips,
      C#m                       B6sus4
I can make that trip
E6                           G#m7
And all life's fears could invade my ears
      C#m                       B6sus4
I can handle it
      E6                  G#m7
I can call on a friend I can laugh with a friend
       C#m                     B6sus4
That I know from school
E6                           G#m7
Oh and some of them won't 'cus they've still not discovered
      C#m                      B6sus4
The golden rule

C#m  B6sus2  G#m  x2

[Outro]

C#m                 B6sus2
Listen hard for the ghost of the child
    Emaj7
And you may hear an alarm bell ringing
C#m                           B6sus2
Pulled from your sleep by invisible hands
    Emaj7
The distant sound of a lady singing.
