My Love Is You Chords

   
i like david byrne and i assume you do as well.
this song is pretty east to play.  its just basic chords with a few little licks 
intermittently.  listen for the timing.


intro:
D9 | B7 |:
D7 | D9 | F#m | B7 |
B7 | A | B7 | E |:


D9                B7
Some men desire a princess
    D9                B7
And others lust for a temptress
     D7      D9          F#m   B7
Well I don't need one of those cause,
B7  A   B7  E
My love is you
B7  A   B7  E
My love is you

D9                     B7
Some men replace their mamas
    D9                   B7
And some want a young baiana
D7     D9         F#m   B7
I have no use for those cause,
B7  A   B7  E
My love is you
B7  A   B7  E
My love is you

Sometimes you're an asshole too

(Repeat intro)

D9                B7
I'm primitive and selfish
    D9                B7
I'm childlike and I'm helpless
      D7    D9         B7
Well, I got that way because of
B7  A   B7   E
My love for you
B7  A   B7  E
My love is you
B7  A   B7  E
My love is you
