Subject: "Sweet Transvestite" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Hi,
Here are (as promised) the lyrics and chords to :
"Sweet Transvestite"
I have tried to reply to everyone who emailed me asking for "Rocky Horror
Picture Show" songs by mailing a copy of this and "Whatever Happened To
Saturday Night" to them aswell as by posting the songs to news and nevada.edu
I got the lyrics from cs.uwp.edu (though I edited them a little) and
worked the Chords out mostly by just playing my guitar like a bass along
with the CD - I hope they're correct!
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?!?

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.
