Rufus And Beverly Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Ru fus could [D]play the piano
[G]And he dro[C]ve an American car[G]
He worked [C]nine to sundown
In an [G]office downtown
To save us from nuclear [D]war
Well, [G]Beverly [D]came from Seattle
[G]Played the mou[C]th harp quite well
So they say
[G]

[Verse 2]
She [C]used to write songs
in an [G]old -timey style

[Verse 3]
In [G]hopes she might [D]sell
them someday
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]
Well, [G]Rufus and [D]Bev became sweethearts
[G]

[Verse 5]
And [C]nature could not be denied
[G]

[Verse 6]
They [C]did the things lovers do
[G]under the covers
As happy as clams at high [D]tide
One [G]morning said [D]Rufus to [G]Beverly
As they [C]lay in the fondest em[G]brace
Dear, [C]I have to confess
With some [G]minor distress
There's an issue I [D]fear we must [G]face
[D]For this bod[G]y you see[D] here before you[G]
[D]Was [C]once more like yours and like [G]mine
But I [C]sought the compliance
of [G]medical science
To change to the sex mascu[D]line
Well, [G]Beverly [D]stared back in [G]silence
Said, [C]Rufus, don't rue what you've [G]done
For [C]I have surrendered
the [G]masculine gender
For this other, more [D]feminine [G]one
[D]So the [G]lovers went [D]back
to their pas[G]sions
In the [C]manner to which they were [G]used
And the [C]night they seemed tied
Although [G]deep down in[Em]side
They were [G]ever [Em]so sl[D]ightly c[G]onfused
