The Art Teacher
Rufus Wainwright
RUFUS WAINWRIGHT - "The Art Teacher" Tabbed by Rollo This song is a wonderful and blissful touch to a magnificent album from an artist who’s undoubtedly one of the most creative sincere and well-sounding artists since God-knows-when. Do it justice! There I was in uniform E D#7sus4 D#7 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 E D#7sus4 D#7 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. [French horn solo following verse structure] 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 D#7sus4 D#7 B 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.
