INTRO LEAD RIFF |------------------| |-3-0--3----3------| |--------2----0----| x3 |------------------| |------------------| |------------------| |--------0---------| |-3-0--3----3------| |-------------0----| x1 |------------------| |------------------| |------------------| Intro chords and riff plays over verses It's at times like this the great heaven knows That we wish we had not so many clothes So let's loosen up with a playful tease Like all lovers did through the centuries We're just following ancient history If I strip for you will you strip for me? We're just following ancient history If I strip for you will you strip for me? Uh-huh-huh When it gets so hot, the end of the day You may find your clothes getting in the way If a pretty dress hides your true desire Fold it nice and slow, throw it on the fire We're just following ancient history If I strip for you will you strip for me? We're just following ancient history If I strip for you will you strip for me? Uh-huh-huh We don't need to see what the butler saw Or a mirrored room with a mirrored floor All those sneaky looks gazing down on you Are no substitute for our rendezvous We're just following ancient history If I strip for you will you strip for me? We're just following ancient history If I strip for you will you strip for me? Uh-huh-huh It's at times like this the great heaven knows That we wish we had not so many clothes So let's loosen up with a playful tease Like all lovers did through the centuries Instrumental (x2) SOLO |------------------2-4-2--| |------------4--4---------| |---4---4--4--------------| |-4---4-------------------| |-------------------------| |-------------------------| |----------------4-2--7-7-7--| |-2-2-4-4-4-2--2-------------| |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |----------------------------| |----------------4--2-4-2--| |-------------4------------| |---4---4--4---------------| |-4---4--------------------| |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |-2-2---------2-4-2--7-7-7--| |-----4-2-4-----------------| |-----------4---------------| |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |---------------------------| If you think it's cheap or a bit risqué Please don't say a word I'll just slip away I am not a man who believes in lies Like an octopus with big x-ray eyes Below played with same chords as Instrumental section Don't freeze up gi-irl, you're looking quite a sight Be generous, I want it all tonight! Hyoo, hyoo. Repeat above over repeating Chorus to fade We're just following ancient history If I strip for you will you strip for me? We're just following ancient history If I strip for you will you strip for me?
