Is there some place to hear it? If so, I'll do the chords for you.

I Call That True Love
(Shel Silverstein)

Ever' mornin' won't you you wake up early cook me great big T-bone steak
Serve it to me in bed go on the street and hustle bring me back all the money you make
Won't you rub my body with sweet scented oil, cool me with a 'lectric fan
Run to the church fall down on your knees say "Lord I wanna thank you for that man"

And I'll call that true love, true and sweet
That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin'

But baby that's the kind of love I need
When "The Man" downs his soul and find my stash, won't you tell 'em it belongs to you
I wanna come home every evenin' to a great big meal of wine and roasted pheasant
I want you to say to me "Ray, hey this is Susy, this is Kay, I brought 'em both home to you for a present"
And when you're sittin' in the slam tell all the other chickies when they get out they should look me up too

And I'll call that true love, true and sweet
That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin'
But baby that's the kind of love I need

Points a gun at me, I want you to jump in the middle and take the bullet in your own heart
"Hey Ray I'm sorry I messed up your rug, just roll my body out of the way"
Some guy accuses me of foolin' with his wife threatens to take me apart
And as you're lyin' on the floor and dyin', I want you to look up at me and say
And I'll call that true love, true and sweet

But baby that's the kind of love I need
That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin'


Hollywood calls you on the telephone I want you to turn down the part
And I'll call that true love, true and sweet
And when we're ballin' baby, ride on top so I never ever strain my heart
That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin'......

I may have the CD at home. If so, I'll give it a listen. It's basic chords if I recall--although I haven't heard the song since 1971.

anyone know the chords?

i would ask dr hook but the two lead singers (which you should check out on youtube for the old live stuff)arent together and i suppose arent talking as much anymore since they are touring seperately.....you would guess after a zillion joints that anyone can get over any problem...
