Subject: "Sweet Transvestite" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Hi,
Here are (as promised) the lyrics and chords to :
"Sweet Transvestite"
I have tried to reply to everyone who emailed me asking for "Rocky Horror
Picture Show" songs by mailing a copy of this and "Whatever Happened To
Saturday Night" to them aswell as by posting the songs to news and nevada.edu
I got the lyrics from cs.uwp.edu (though I edited them a little) and
worked the Chords out mostly by just playing my guitar like a bass along
with the CD - I hope they're correct!
The song has a fairly simple progression of Chords that you should be able
to follow pretty easily - especially if you mainly use "E-form bar Chords".
The Chorus part of the song has its Chords played sort of "12-bar blues
style" - use your little finger! Apart from that the song is pretty basic
although I might not have put the Chords into their EXACT position above the
lyrics.
The version of the song that I worked this out from was on :
"The Rocky Horror Pictur Show" Soundtrack CD
(Music from the original soundtrack of the
20th century fox presentation of the Michael
White/Lou Adler Production)
In my opinion this is the best version of the "Show" with the fab Tim Curry
- not to mention a foxy Susan Sarandon!
COMING SOON : "Eddie's Teddy" & "Super Heroes" - are these wanted?!?

( Intro : E )
How do you do, I
See you've met my
Faithful handyman.
He's just a little brought down
Because when you knocked
He thought you were the candyman.
Don't get strung out
by the way I look.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
I'm not much of a man
by the light of day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover.
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania.
Let me show you around
Maybe play you a sound.
You look like you're both pretty groovy.
Or if you want something visual
That's not too abysmal,
We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie.
I'm glad we caught you at home,
Could we use your phone?
We're both in a bit of a hurry. Right.
We'll just say where we are,
Then go back into the car.
We don't want to be any worry.
Well you got with a flat,
Well, how 'bout that?
Well, babies, don't you panic.
By the light of the night
It'll all seem alright.
I'll get you a satanic mechanic.
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania.
Why don't you stay for the night? Night.
Or maybe a bite? Bite.
I could show you my favourite ... obsession.
I've been making a man
With blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my ... tension
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania. HIT IT! HIT IT!
I'm just a sweet transvestite, Sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania.
E (with a slide!)
So - come up to the lab,
And see what's on the slab.
N.C.
I see you shiver with antici ...
... pation.
But maybe the rain
Isn't really to blame.
So I'll remove the cause.
(chuckles) But not the symptom.
