Venus
(from 1969 album "At Home")
Written by Robbie van Leeuwen
The intro is a fast rythmic tremolo on B7sus4. I play it with a bar on
the seventh fret: 797977 and afterwards slide the pointer finger quickly
on the E-string from 7 down to 0 to play the Em: 022000

The summit of beauty and love,
Em A Em
And Venus was her name.

Her weapon were her crystal eyes
Making ev'ry man mad;
Black as a dark night she was,
Got what no one else had.
Wow!

Well, I'm your Venus,
I'm your fire at your desire.
