Verse 1 chords: [play chords or play Intro Riff]
Your beautiful African friend
Next to him I look so white
So white that you turned away
And wanted me out of your sight
Interlude: /
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
To be exotic and I did pretend
In the backyard to slowly undress
As you pulled the twigs from my hair
That I put there myself I confess
Chorus Chords:
So come lay on the couch with me
Cause nature’s too wild and free
Come lay on the couch
/ /
We don’t have to work on our tan
Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
A beautiful African man
Next to him I look so white
As white as the page in a book
That I read but still don’t understand
Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords)
So I joked of a forbidden fruit
As we argued into the night
In a city of tanning salons
And TV screens all shining bright
Final Chorus Chords:
So come lay on the couch with me
Cause nature’s too wild and free
Come lay on the couch
/ /
We don’t have to work on our tan
