Verse 1 chords: [play chords or play Intro Riff] 
      G          C/G   F
Your beautiful African friend
G           C/G        F
Next to him I look so white
   G          C/G         F
So white that you turned away
    G         C/G         F
And wanted me out of your sight


Interlude: G  C/G  F  G  C/G  F


Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
To be exotic and I did pretend
In the backyard to slowly undress
As you pulled the twigs from my hair
That I put there myself I confess


Chorus Chords:
F                      G         C/G  G  Am   Asus2  Em/A
   So come lay on the couch with me
F                      G       C/G   G  Am   Asus2  Em/A    
   Cause nature's too wild and free
F                   G
   Come lay on the couch
F                   G           C/G  G  Am  G  C/G  F  G  C/G  F
   We don't have to work on our tan


Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
A beautiful African man
Next to him I look so white
As white as the page in a book
That I read but still don't understand


Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords)
So I joked of a forbidden fruit
As we argued into the night
In a city of tanning salons
And TV screens all shining bright


Final Chorus Chords:
F                      G         C/G  G  Am   Asus2  Em/A
   So come lay on the couch with me
F                      G         C/G  G  Am   Asus2  Em/A
    Cause nature's too wild and free
F                     G
    Come lay on the couch
F                    G           C/G  G  C/G  G  C/G  G  C/G  G  C/G
    We don't have to work on our tan
