The song has a fairly simple progression of Chords that you should be able to follow pretty easily - especially if you mainly use "E-form bar Chords". The Chorus part of the song has its Chords played sort of "12-bar blues style" - use your little finger! Apart from that the song is pretty basic although I might not have put the Chords into their EXACT position above the lyrics. The version of the song that I worked this out from was on : "The Rocky Horror Pictur Show" Soundtrack CD (Music from the original soundtrack of the 20th century fox presentation of the Michael White/Lou Adler Production) In my opinion this is the best version of the "Show" with the fab Tim Curry - not to mention a foxy Susan Sarandon! COMING SOON : "Eddie's Teddy" & "Super Heroes" - are these wanted?!? *** Original Musical Play, Music and Lyrics by RICHARD O'BRIEN *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SWEET TRANSVESTITE ( Frank N Furter ) ( Intro : E ) D# E How do you do, I F# G See you've met my G# A Faithful handyman. D# E G G# A A D# E He's just a little brought down F# G Because when you knocked G# A He thought you were the candyman. D# E G G# A A D# E Don't get strung out F# G by the way I look. G# A D# E Don't judge a book by its cover. D# E I'm not much of a man F# G by the light of day G# A D# E But by night I'm one hell of a lover. E B I'm just a sweet transvestite A E D# E From Transexual, Transylvania. D# E Let me show you around F# G Maybe play you a sound. G# A D# E You look like you're both pretty groovy. D# E Or if you want something visual F# G That's not too abysmal, G# A D# E We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie. D# E I'm glad we caught you at home, F# G Could we use your phone? G# A D# E We're both in a bit of a hurry. Right. D# E We'll just say where we are, F# G Then go back into the car. G# A D# E We don't want to be any worry. D# E Well you got with a flat, F# G Well, how 'bout that? G# A D# E Well, babies, don't you panic. D# E By the light of the night F# G It'll all seem alright. G# A D# E I'll get you a satanic mechanic. E B I'm just a sweet transvestite A E D# E From Transexual, Transylvania. D# E Why don't you stay for the night? Night. F# G Or maybe a bite? Bite. G# A D# E I could show you my favourite ... obsession. D# E I've been making a man F# G With blond hair and a tan G# A D# E And he's good for relieving my ... tension E B I'm just a sweet transvestite A E D# E From Transexual, Transylvania. HIT IT! HIT IT! E B I'm just a sweet transvestite, Sweet transvestite A E D# E From Transexual, Transylvania. E (with a slide!) E So - come up to the lab, G And see what's on the slab. N.C. I see you shiver with antici ... E ... pation. E But maybe the rain G Isn't really to blame. A So I'll remove the cause. E (chuckles) But not the symptom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any comments/corrections/complaints accepted!
