RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - "The Art Teacher"
Tabbed by Rollo, rollosb@hotmail.com
This song is a wonderful and blissful touch to a magnificent album from an artist
who's undoubtedly one of the most creative, sincere and well-sounding artists since
God-knows-when. Do it justice!
D#mThere I was in A#uniform
ELooking at the D#7sus4art---- D#7teacher.
BI was just a F#girl then;
BNever have I loved AsiG#mnce F#then.
D#mHe was not that much A#older than I was
He had Etaken our class to the D#7sus4Metropolitan MuD#7seum
BHe asked us what our F#favorite work of art was,
But neBver could I tell him it AwaG#ms-- F#him.
Oh, I Bwish I could tell him --
Oh, I wish I could have tF#old him.
D#mI looked at the A#Reubens and Rembrandts
EI liked the JD#7sus4ohn Singer SeD#7rgeantsB  
He told me he liked F#Turner
NBever have I turned AsiG#mnce F#then
No, Bnever have I turned to F#any other man.
[French horn solo, following verse structure]
D#mAll this having been G#m7said,
A#7I married an eBxecutive A#compaAny G#mhead.
B   G#   Bm/F#   Bm/E   Bm/D   Bm/C#   Bm  F#*
All this having been done, a Tur---ner------------ I- own one.
D#mHere I am in this A#uniform, this pantsuit sort of thing,E  
Thinking of the D#7sus4art--- tD#7eacher.B  
I was just a F#girl then;
NBever have I loved AsiG#mnce F#then.
No, Bnever have I loved F#any other man.
(ends on a high F# chord)
