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

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
