The Guilt Song

F               G       Em              Am
I would be a liar if I pretended I admire
F                       G               C
The red-light windscreen-cleaning empire that you’ve built.

F                       G                       Em                      Am
But my heart is good it’s not a thing of stone and wood
                        F               G               C
I’ll give you 50 cents to take away my guilt.

C               G                       Am                              Em
I give money to folk who just don’t have enough,
                Am                      Em                              F
To try to justify the future purchases of stuff
G               C                       G
That I don’t need.
C                       G               Am                      Em
I know that one less Vodka Cranberry tonight
                Am                              Em                              F
Could probably feed some foreign family for a fortnight,
                G                       F
But I might just have one more.
                        Em
After all what is Vodka for
        F                                       G                               C
Apart from making you want to shag your best mate’s wife,
        F                                       G                               C
And drowning out the guilt you feel about your perfect life?



C               G               Am                       Em
Fuck the poor, what is all this hoo-ha for?
                        Am                              Em              F G
There’s only one reason I’ll phone 1800 034 034
        F                                               Em
It’s the force behind Teresa and the school that Oprah built,
                        F               G                C
I’ll give you 50 bucks to take away my guilt.

Fuck the poor, I’m not pretending any more
That I really give two shits about some kids in Bangalore.
I’m more interested in footy than seeing the Solomon’s rebuilt,
But I’ll give you 50 bucks to take away my guilt.
