Verse 1
(A minor) I'm going to give the band (G major) a wee break
for (F major) a second
and sing you an (F sharp minor) other one (E major) on my own.
(G major) This is (G minor) an old melody
(F major) and I decided to write about (E major) something that's
happening in (F sharp minor) modern Scotland
(E major) so I wrote a song about gay marriage,
(G major) 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 major) of where we (F sharp minor) will all be heading
(G major) So ciety will crumble
(D major) if (G major) two laddies have a (D major) wedding
(G major) But soon the truth was told
and now that pious prick (D major) has flown
That fucking (G major) fake had many
(F sharp minor) a gay (G major) union of his own
Some people have a (G major) fanny
an (F major) d some (G major) people have a cock
But I'll nev (G major) er understand
what makes some (F major) people want to (G major) balk
At the need for human beings
to ex (F major) press a (G major) wee bit love
Oh, you'd think that grumpy bastard
would be (A major) happy (G major) up above
But some still claim God's
heaven (F major) name,
aye, all that (G major) queer stuff
In heaven will nae take (D major) them,
naw (F major) to love him's (G major) no enough (D major)
(G major) Are we no wise children,
(D major) aw (G major) make up yer (D major) fucking mind
And (G major) meanwhile let the rest (F major) of us
(G major) get on with humankind
And ministers (C major) can warn (F major) us
of where we (G major) will all be heading
Soci (G major) ety will crumble
(D major) when two (G major) lassies (D major) have a wed (G major) ding
But sex and love is older
(D major) than your (F major) Bible and your (D major) Lord
And his (G major) message of compassion
clearly (F major) hasnae (G major) struck a
chord (A minor)
Thank you very much.
