The Guilt Song

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

F                       G        
But my heart is good it’s 
               Em                  
not a thing of stone and wood
    Am

                        F          
I’ll give you 50 cents to 
     G               C
take away my guilt.

C               G          
I give money to folk who just 
             Am                    
don’t have enough,
          Em

                Am          
To try to justify the future 
            Em                     
purchases of stuff
         F

G               C                
That I don’t need.
       G

C                       G        
I know that one less Vodka 
       Am                      Em
Cranberry tonight
                Am              
Could probably feed some foreign 
                Em                 
family for a fortnight,
             F

                G                  
But I might just have one more.
     F

                        Em
After all what is Vodka for
        F                          
Apart from making you want to shag 
             G                     
your best mate’s wife,
          C

        F                          
And drowning out the guilt you feel
             G                     
 about your perfect life?
          C




C               G               
Fuck the poor, what is all this 
Am                       Em
hoo-ha for?
                        Am   
There’s only one reason 
                           Em      
I’ll phone 1800 034 034
        F G

        F                          
It’s the force behind Teresa 
                     Em
and the school that Oprah built,
                        F          
I’ll give you 50 bucks to 
     G                C
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.
