Verse
G                              Am
You must treat your lover girl right
D                 (bass fill)
If you wanna make lover's rock
G                             Am
You must know a place you can kiss
D          (bass fill)
To make... Lover's rock

Chorus
G                          Am
Cuz everybody knows it's a cryin' shame
D                         C
But nobody knows the poor baby's name
G                                   Am
When she forgot that thing that she had
D       C
Ohh, to swallow...

Verse 2 (same as first)
You Western man, you're free with your seed
When you make lovers rock
But woops! there goes the strength that you need
To make real cool lovers rock

Chorus (same as first)
Cuz a genuine lover takes off his clothes
And he can make a lover in a thousand go's
And she don't need that thing that she had
Ohh, to swallow...

There are layers and layers of stuff on the outro
So I have no idea what the rhythm chords are.
Let's just say they're D C and G.

That's about it.
