Vegemite (The Black Death)
guitar chords lyrics
I did this by ear, and there are a couple of spots I think are just a little off, but
otherwise it should be good.
Intro: D(7)
Verse:
G C
You tell me that you love me when i'm lying by your side
D G (D/F#) Em
you tell me that i am the only one who understands your fragile mind
Am
that i'm blind to any evil you could do
D
and that i love you like any other girl could ever do
G
you love the things that i love
C
you love art and you love books
D
and you love love as much as i do
G
and you lovee my dirty looks
(D/F#) Em Bm
and you love me right now
D
so how
Single notes: C# C D
can you love
Chords: G
vegemite?
C
it tastes like sadness
D
it tastes like batteries
G
it tastes like asses
D/F# Em G7 C
Cm
i cannot hold a man so close who spreads this cancer on his toast
D G
it is the vegemite my darling, or its me
G D G
you have to make the fucking choice
C
i cannot sit with you at breakfast
D G
the very smell of it obliterates my senses
D/F# Em Am
and if that weren't bad enough you also eat the shit for lunch
D
which means we can't spend any time together
what kind of relationship is that
G C
the choice is yours, my heart is in your hands
D
please wash your hands
G D/F# Em
you just had vegemite for lunch you selfish bastard
Throughout this bit is just Am and D and Am again
it's all about you isn't it, it's just take, take, take, take
what about me? what about my feelings?
G
I'm Sorry
Throughout the story chords are: G C D G Em Am D (same as verse)
G
I love you
C D
and no matter what you eat i'll always love you completely
G D/F# Em
i might just always leave the room at meal times
Am
or refuse to touch or kiss you for a week
D
if you insist on putting that foul death paste in your mouth
G C
you're in my heart but put yourself inside my shoes
D G
i have to know, it shouldn't be that hard to choose
G7 C Cm
i know it's tearing you apart but it's the way it has to be
D
it is the vegemite my darling,
Ab dim (or E7)
it is the vegemite my darling
D
put down the vegemite fucker
Cm G
or i'll leave.
