Ode To O'Brien Et Al (Live) chords by
Aidan Moffat
Aidan Moffat

N/A
Verse 1
Am
G

I'm going to give the band a wee break
F

for a second
F#m
E

and sing you another one on my own.
G
Gm

This is an old melody
F
E

and I decided to write about something that's
F#m

happening in modern Scotland
E

so I wrote a song about gay marriage,
G

or rather it's about the opposition

to gay marriage

from gay cardinals and priests.

It's called Ode to O 'Brien et al.

The Cardinal he warned us
E
F#m

of where we will all be heading
G

So ciety will crumble
D
G
D

if two laddies have a wedding
G

But soon the truth was told
D

and now that pious prick has flown
G

That fucking fake had many
F#m
G

a gay union of his own
G

Some people have a fanny
F
G

and some people have a cock
G

But I'll never understand
F
G

what makes some people want to balk

At the need for human beings
F
G

to express a wee bit love

Oh, you'd think that grumpy bastard
A
G

would be happy up above

But some still claim God's
F

heaven name,
G

aye, all that queer stuff
D

In heaven will nae take them,
F
G
D

naw to love him's no enough
G

Are we no wise children,
D
G
D

aw make up yer fucking mind
G
F

And meanwhile let the rest of us
G

get on with humankind
C
F

And ministers can warn us
G

of where we will all be heading
G

Society will crumble
D
G
D
G

when two lassies have a wedding

But sex and love is older
D
F
D

than your Bible and your Lord
G

And his message of compassion
F
G

clearly hasnae struck a
Am

chord

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
