I changed the key of this song up a half step to make it a) easier to play and b) easier 
sing as a female. i know it's techinically wrong but I figured I'd share in case anyone 
struggling.
Em         B
There I was in uniform
F             Em
Looking at the art---- teacher.
C            G
I was just a girl then;
C                Bb Am G
Never have I loved since then.
Em                  B
He was not that much older than I was
       F                     Em
He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
C                    G
He asked us what our favorite work of art was,
      C                      Bb Am G
But never could I tell him it was-- him.
      C
Oh, I wish I could tell him --
                         G
Oh, I wish I could have told him.
Em             B
I looked at the Reubens and Rembrandts
F            E7sus4      E7     C
I liked the John Singer Sergeants
                   G
He told me he liked Turner
 C                  Bb Am G
Never have I turned since then
    C                     G
No, never have I turned to any other man.
[French horn solo, following verse structure]
Em                  Am7
All this having been said,
B7           C        B   Bb  Am
I married an executive company head.
 C                  A     CmG

All this having been done, a Tur---ner------------ I- own one.
Em               B                                    F
Here I am in this uniform, this pantsuit sort of thing,
                E7sus4 E7     C
Thinking of the art--- teacher.
             G
I was just a girl then;
 C                 Bb Am G
Never have I loved since then.

No, never have I loved any other man.
