RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - "The Art Teacher"
Tabbed by Rollo, rollosb@hotmail.com
This song is a wonderful and blissful touch to a magnificent album from an artist
who's undoubtedly one of the most creative, sincere and well-sounding artists since
God-knows-when. Do it justice!
There I was in uniform
Looking at the art---- teacher.
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then.
He was not that much older than I was
He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
He asked us what our favorite work of art was,
But never could I tell him it was-- him.
Oh, I wish I could tell him --
Oh, I wish I could have told him.
I looked at the Reubens and Rembrandts
I liked the John Singer Sergeants
He told me he liked Turner
Never have I turned since then
No, never have I turned to any other man.
[French horn solo, following verse structure]
All this having been said,
I married an executive company head.
B G# Bm/F# Bm/E Bm/D Bm/C# Bm F#*
All this having been done, a Tur---ner------------ I- own one.
Here I am in this uniform, this pantsuit sort of thing,
Thinking of the art--- teacher.
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then.
No, never have I loved any other man.
(ends on a high F# chord)
* This is actually played as a D-C#-A#-F# sequence occurring two times fast, one time slow.
