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.

DBeauty is a hBmarlot
She will dGance witGmh any Dsus4bastardD
She's unBbdim/F#discerning in her choice of BmpartnerBm/As
I could Gadd#11have her of course if I wish
But I oF#mbject to her promiscuousness
EmBeauty just doesn't Asuit Bbdim7me
For beaDuty is a hBmarlot
An eaGsy lGmay for laDsus4zy artisDts
I won't be Bbdim/F#fooled by her vulgar BmcharmBm/A
It is the Gadd#11easiest trick in the book
F#mMusic's the worm and beautys the hook
And I Emknow you would swallow her whole
But Im nAot here to pander to Bbdim7souls
For beDauty is a sBmiren
Trying to drGaw me Gmfrom my choseDsus4n missiDon
Bbdim/F# Bm- Bm/A
I won't be tempted by her seductive singing
On prGadd#11inciple I refuse to be F#mparty to her abuse
It is Emnot my job to squat in the gutter
SF#mharing the teat with you beauty drunk suckers
You pGaid to see satire and rage
I swear AI won't let beauty set foot on this Bbdim7stage
For beDauty is a siBmren
A spotGlight Gmhungry superficiaDsus4l harloDt
She will Bbdim/F#toy with your defenceless Bmheart and Bm/Aleave you
G(add#11)Tear streaked when the lights come on
You F#mlook around to find her gone
And deEmspite your sighs you've not a clue
That as you feAll from her she stoA7le from you
For beDauty is a haBmrlot

She seems to come so easily
