Art Teacher Tab

by Rufus Wainwright


I changed the key of this song up a half step to make it a) easier to play and b) easier 
sing as a female. i know it's techinically wrong but I figured I'd share in case anyone 
struggling.

         
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.

All this having been said,
                        
I married an executive company head.
                           *
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.
