Beauty - Tim Minchin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This song is actually in the key of Eflat, however I have tabbed it out in D.
This allows you to play most of the chords open and it sounds much better.
To play the song in its original key, put a capo on the first fret.

The song should be picked, not strummed. Listen to it to get a better idea.

D Bm
Beauty is a harlot

G Gm Dsus4 D
She will dance with any bastard

Bflat dim Bm Bm/A
She's undiscerning in her choice of partners

Gadd#11
I could have her of course if I wish

F#m
But I object to her promiscuousness

Em A A7
Beauty just doesn't suit me




D Bm
For beauty is a harlot

G Gm Dsus4 D
An easy lay for lazy artists


Bflat dim Bm Bm/A
I won't be fooled by her vulgar charm

Gadd#11
It is the easiest trick in the book

F#m
Music's the worm and beautys the hook

Em
And I know you would swallow her whole

A A7
But Im not here to pander to souls




D Bm
For beauty is a siren

G Gm Dsus4 D
Trying to draw me from my chosen mission

Bflat dim Bm - Bm/A
I won't be tempted by her seductive singing

Gadd#11 F#m
On principle I refuse to be party to her abuse

Em
It is not my job to squat in the gutter

F#m
Sharing the teat with you beauty drunk suckers

G
You paid to see satire and rage

A A7
I swear I won't let beauty set foot on this stage




D Bm
For beauty is a siren

G Gm Dsus4 D
A spotlight hungry superficial harlot

Bflat dim Bm Bm/A
She will toy with your defenceless heart and leave you

Gadd#11
Tear streaked when the lights come on

F#m
You look around to find her gone

Em
And despite your sighs you've not a clue

A A7
That as you fell from her she stole from you




D Bm
For beauty is a harlot

G Gm Dsus4 D
She will lie with any two bit artist

Bflat dim Bm Bm/A
And for all those other bastards

G Gm D - Bm
She seems to come so easily

G Gm D
But she comes too hard for me
