Prejudice Tab uke di Tim Minchin

Am
In our modern free spoken society
            G
There is a word that we still hold taboo
   F                                     E
A word with a terrible history of being used to abuse oppress and subdue
Am                                     G
Just six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way that will form a word
            F                                       E
With more power than the pieces of metal that are forged to make swords
            F               G            Am
A couple of G's an R and an E an I and an N

                  F                    G                   E
Just six little letters all jumbled together have caused damage that we may never mend
Am                                          G  
And it's important that we all respect that if these people should happen to choose to 
F                                         E
Reclaim the word as their own it doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to it's use
Am                           G
So never under estimate the power that language imparts
F                                           E
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can break hearts
                 F                                                    G
A couple of G's; geez unless you have had to live it, an R and an E; even I am careful with it
            Am                      G                 F
An I and an N in the end it will only offend don't want to have to spell 
        E
it out again

Am G F E G Am x2

Yeah

Am            G                         F     E  G
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
Am            G                         F     E  G             
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
     F
So listen to me if you care for your health
     G                              E
You wont call me ginger less your ginger yourself
Am            G                         F     E  G
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger

Am                              G
When you are a ginger life is pretty hard
F                                 E
Years of ritual bullying in the school yard
Am                          G
Kids calling you ranga and fanta pants
F                     E
No invitation to the high school dance
         Am                            G
But you get up and learn to hold your head up
     F                                 E
You try to keep your cool and not get het up
     Am                                G
But until the feeling of ill is truly let up
         F                      E
Then the word is ours and ours alone don't you know
