The Fence

Tim Minchin

tonalidad:
C
Somewhere in your wardrobe
        F          C
I'd be willing to bet
           Bb5
There's a t-shirt probably
                  A
Bearing the silhouette of Che Guevara

He was revolutionary
          F           C
Yeah, he wore a cool hat
     Bb5
But behind the design I think you might find
      A                          
It's not quite as simple as that

Che was a bit of a homophobe
A                           C  
Che was a bit of a homophobe
Bb5                             
Che was a bit of a homophobe

Che was a bit of a homophobe

            C        
This is my song
      G
In defence of the fence
Bb2                    
    A little sing along
  F
A anthem to ambivalence
Bb2
The more you know
                     F
The harder you will find it
                 C
To make up your mind
                                 G
It doesn't really matter if you find
                              Bb2
You can't see which grass is greener
                  F
Chances are it's neither
                    C
And either way it's easier
              Bb2
To see the difference
             A              C   
When you're sitting on the fence

C
Somewhere in your house
        F          C
I'd be willing to bet
           Bb5
There's a picture of that grinning hippy
 A                           
From Tibet - the Dalai Llama

He's a lovely, funny fella
          F           C
He gets soundbites galore
     Bb5
But let's not forget that back in Tibet
       A
Those funky monks used to dick the poor, yeah

        Bb5
And the Buddhist line about future lives
        A
Is the perfect way to stop
                 C  
The powerless rising up
        Bb5
And he tells the poor they will live again
   A
But he's rich now so it's easy for him to say

                C
I'm taking the stand
      G
In defence of the fence
Bb2
    I got a little band
        F
Playing anthems to ambivalence
    Bb2
We divide the world into
                F
Terrorists and heroes
                      C
Into normal folk and weirdos
                      G
Into good people and pedos
                          Bb2
Into things that give you cancer
                          F
And the things that cure cancer
                                 C
And the things that don't cause cancer

But there's a chance

They will cause cancer in the future
   Bb2
We divide the world
                      F
To stop us feeling frightened
                     C
Into wrong and into right and
                      G
Into black and into white and
                   Bb2
Into real men and fairies
                     F
Into status quo and scary
                        C
Yeah we want the world binary, binary
         Bb5           A
But it's not that simple

G5
And your dog has a bigger carbon footprint
     F5
Than a four wheel drive
G5
Yeah, your dog has a bigger carbon footprint
    F5
Than a four wheel drive
G5
Yeah, your dog has a bigger carbon footprint
    F5
Than a four wheel drive
    G5  
And so does your baby, maybe
You oughta trade him in for a Prius

Rock!

In defence of the fence

    I got a little band
          F
Playing tributes to ambivalence
   Bb2
We divide the world
                   F
Into liberals and gun-freaks
                   C
Into atheists and fundies
                      G
Into teetotalers and junkies
                  Bb2
Into chemical and natural
                    F
Into fictional and factual
                      C
Into science and supernatural

But it's actually naturally

Not that white and black

You'll be
 Bb2
Dividing us
                     F
Into terrorists and heroes
                      C
Into normal folk and weirdos
