Bloody Rotten Audience

G Em C D

      G                  Em    
Well, here's a song I've written 
     C             D
specifically for you
    G              Em           C
Who sit inside the audience and 
                  D
talk through all I do
   G          Em                 
I cannot understand it cause I'm 
C                D
pretty good, you see
         G                 Em  
So there must be something wrong 
                    C              
with you, there's nothing wrong 
    G
with me


[Chorus]
         G             Em     
You're a bloody rotten audience 
         C         D
whilst I am very good
   G                   Em         
If brains were made of oak and ash
      C                D
 then you'd have balsa wood
     G           Em              
I'm ethnic and authentic and I'm 
C                D
really full of class
             G               
While you're ignorant, you're 
 Em                  C            
cultureless, you're philistines en
   G
 masse


[Verse 1]
       G            Em         C 
I'm an artist and authority on 
               D
music and what's more
      G           Em        
I'm incredible informative on 
  C                D
folksong and folklore
      G             Em        C  
I'm a wonderful performer and so 
             D
you all must be
   G                Em            
So bloody thick and stupid not to 
C                G
like the like of me


[Chorus]
         G             Em     
You're a bloody rotten audience 
         C         D
whilst I am very good

[Verse 2]
      G                  Em       
I'm a folkie and that's obvious, 
       C             D
you can tell it by me clothes
    G               Em         C 
And when I sing traditional, I 
                 D
sing it through me nose
       G              Em   
And if you insist on talking 
       C             D
everytime I sing a song
     G                  Em        
I'll fix you with 'Bold Robin 
          C             G
Hood', that's eighty verses long

[Verse 3]
    G              Em            
And when I sing contemporary, me 
C                 D
heart and soul is pure
  G              Em               
I must be bloody brilliant, cause 
   C              D
me writing's so obscure
   G              Em       C     
My hero's Leonard Cohen, I dig 
         D
him perfectly
      G               Em    
But I must be so much better, 
          C                G
because no-one here digs me

[Verse 4]
    G                Em       
But now I'm going to leave you, 
          C                D
cause I feel I'm wasting time
         G           Em           
Couldn't possibly be wasting 
         C               D
yours, so you must be wasting mine
    G               Em            
And let me tell you now that I'm 
   C               D
not out here for me health
      G                  Em       
So if you don't come and pull with
          C             G
