The Masochism Tango Tab uke di Tom Lehrer

Em                        Am
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear
     D7                              G
But much more for the touch of your  whips, dear
B7                             Em
You can raise welts like nobody else
      B7                     Em
As we dance to the masochism tango

    Em                          Am
Let our love be a flame, not an ember
         D7                     G
Say it's me that you want to dismember
B7                             Em
Blacken my eye, set fire to my tie
      B7                     Em
As we dance to the masochism tango
           Am          D7         G
At your command before you here I stand
   Em             Am
My heart is in my hand - yecch
      Ebdim           Em  E7
It's here that I must be
           Am           D7                G
My heart entreats, just hear those savage beats
     Em             Am         D7              G   B7
And go put on your cleats and come and trample me
     Em                          Am
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany
       D7                        G
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony
   B7                                  Em
My soul is on fire, it's aflame with desire
         B7                     Em
Which is why I perspire when we tango
              C    C7
You caught my nose
                F
In your left castanet, love
               B7
I can feel the pain yet, love
                  Em
Ev'ry time I hear drums

               C     C7
And I envy the rose
                      F
That you held in your teeth, love
                     B7
With the thorns underneath, love
                   B7
Sticking into your gums

C7 B7 C7 B7 C7 B7 C7 B7
     Em                       Am
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches
    D7                        G
The last time I needed twenty stitches
   B7                                      Em
To sew up the gash that you made with your lash 
      B7                      Em
As we danced to the masochism tango
           Am        D7                  G
Bash in my brain and make me scream with pain
     Em           Am          Ebdim         Em    E7
Then kick me once again and say we'll never part
  Am         D7                      G
I know too well I'm underneath your spell
    Em              Am              D7               G     B7
So, Darling, if you smell something burning, it's my heart

Hic! Excuse me
     Em                        Am
Take your cigarette from its holder
    D7                       G
And burn your initials in my shoulder
B7                                      Em
Fracture my spine and swear that you're mine
      B7                     Em
As we dance to the masochism tango

B7  Em
