Sexuality by Billy Bragg - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Billy Bragg Song List

Version 1

            (When the song is played live I've noticed that Billy adds in a Gmaj9 when playing the 
for the verse. Simply play an open D and then take your finger off the G string for a 
He then returns the D.)
(Also in the chorus, after you play an Em7, play an open D and then play  out the notes 
a Dsus4 releasing the e string after you hit it so that you end up with a D.)

[Intro]
G    C    D  Gmaj9 D
G    C    D  Gmaj9 D

[Verse]
           G       C    D               G        C      D
I've had relations with girls from many nations
          G      C  D            G        C      D
I've made passes at women of all classes
    G                   C   D G              C     D
And just because you're gay I won't turn you away
G             C     D   G                          C      D
If you stick around I'm sure that we can find some common ground

[Chorus 1]
Em7    D     G                   C
Sexuality -- strong and warm and wild and free
Em7    D          Em            C      D
Sexuality -- Your laws do not apply to me

[Verse]
  G                 C             D        G       C      D
A nuclear submarine sinks off the coast of Sweden
G                 C         D      G          C      D
Headlines give me headaches when I read them
         G              C      D       G       C      D 
I had an uncle who once played for Red Star Belgrade
             G                           C      D
He said that some things are really best left unspoken
    G                     C          D 
But I prefer it all to be out in the open

[Chorus 2]
Em7    D     G                  C
Sexuality -- Young and warm and wild and free
Em7    D          Em            C      D
Sexuality -- Your laws do not apply to me
Em7    D           G                C
Sexuality -- Don't threaten me with misery
Em7    D     Em          C  D
Sexuality -- I demand equality

[Bridge]
    Bm             Em             C            D
I'm sure that everybody knows how much my body hates me
   Bm                Em             C             D
It lets me down most every time and makes me rash and hasty
  Bm           Em               Bm            C     D
I feel a total jerk before your naked body of work

[Verse]
            G            C    D             G       C      D
I'm getting weighed down with all this information
G                     C         D          G            C        D
Safe sex doesn't mean no sex it just means use your imagination
     G                C     D        G          C     D
Stop playing with yourselves in hard currency hotels
  G                   C     D         G          C     D  
I look like Robert De Niro, I drive a Mitsubishi Zero

[Chorus 2]
Em7    D     G                  C
Sexuality -- Young and warm and wild and free
Em7    D          Em            C      D
Sexuality -- Your laws do not apply to me
Em7    D           G                C
Sexuality -- Don't threaten me with misery
Em7    D     Em          C  D
Sexuality -- I demand equality
