Join the cause for Palestine

A new song. A first draft and a rushed recording.


       Dm               Am
You hearken to a call from God
         C                           G
that's sworn to by some lying sod
     Dm              Am
it's just another big con job
         C           G             Dm
that's built on theft and murder

why can't you see it's genocide
of anyone who you decide's
essential to God's plan divine
all built on theft and murder

the chosen people so they say
will show us how and light the way
but i see bloodshed every day
that looks like theft and murder

So join the cause of Palestine
don't wait until there's no more time
your heartless end of times design
is simply theft and murder

A waste of good whiskey


Em                                           A                    Em
why i'm feelin blue is just the lack of some whiskey
     A                               G              Em    G  Em
to drink and drive you out of my mind

Em                                       A                      Em
Cryin over you would be a waste of good whiskey
                   A               G                Em    G  Em
and there's so little to spare at this time


Em                                            A                   Em
lying like you do is just more proof of my stupidity
        A                 G                            Em    G  Em
no wonder that i hang my head and cry

Em                                    A             Em
dyin over you would be a lost opportunity
    A                               G                           Em         G  Em
to see my way through all these troubling times

Long Long Road - New Zealand Cannabis Referendum Song




G C  G  C x n

G              C                     G          C
Whenever you are feelin blue
G                 C                               G           C
what do you do to make yourself happy?
G                   C                         G         C
When you don't know what to do
G                  C                                G              C      D
What do you think might make it happen?
                               (G C D)
It's a long long road
                          G         C    D
from misery to happiness
                               (G C D)
you've been walking it alone
                                G        C
you need walk it no more

All my life - pointed the finger
All my life it's been the same lie
All my life it's been repeated
First you go crazy then you die

It's a long long road
from misery to happiness
you've been walking it alone
well you're alone no more
