Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[E][A][F#][Bm][Bdim][Gm][Bbdim]
[Gm]Lave[A]nder[Eb] Son[Gm]g[D][Gm]

[Verse 2]
[Gm]What makes them think have [Eb]the right
[D]To say what God con[Gm]siders [D]vice?
[Gm]What makes them think have [Bb]the right
To keep us [Cm]out o[F]f [Bb]Paradise?
[F]They make our lives [Bb]hell
here on earth
[Eb]Poisoning us with [Bb]guilt and shame
[F]If we res[Bb]ist, [Eb]pris[F]on a[Gm]waits
[Cm]So our love dares not speak its na[D]me
[Cm]The crime is when love must hide[D]
[Cm]From now on we'll love
[Eb]with [D]pride![Eb][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]We're not afraid to be queer an[D]d different
If that means hell,
well hell we'll take [G]the chance
They're all [E]so straight,
uptight, upright and [D]rigid
[A]They march in lock- step,
[D]we prefer [Eb]to d[E]ance[Gm]
[G]We see a world of romance and [D]of pleasure
All they can see is sheer banal[G]ity
Lavender [E]nights our greatest [A]treasure
Where we can be just who we
[D]want to [G]be.
[Cm][Bbdim][Gm]

[Verse 4]
[Gm]Round us all [Bb]up, s[Eb]end [Gm]us away[Eb]
[D]That's what you'd [Gm]really like to do
But we're too strong, proud, unafraid
[Eb]In fact [Bb]we almost pity you
You [F]act from fear, [Bb]why should that be?
[Eb]What is it [Cm]that [F]you're [Bb]frightened of?
[Cm]The way [F]that [Bb]we dress? [Eb]The way
[F]that we [Gm]meet?
[Cm]The fact that you cannot
des[D]troy our love?
[Cm]We're goin[Eb]g to win our right[D]s to[Cm]
lavender days [Eb]and nights[D]![Eb][E][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]We're not afraid to be queer [D]and different
If that means hell,
well hell we'll take [G]the chance
They're all so [E]straight,
uptight, upright and [D]rigid
[A]They march in lock- step,
we [D]prefer to [E]dance[D]
[G]We see a world of romance and of [D]pleasure
All they can see is sheer banal[G]ity
Lavender [E]nights our greatest treas[A]ure
Where we can be just who
we [D]want to [G]be.
Lavender [E]nights our greatest [A]treasure
Where we can be just who [D]we want
to [G]be.
