[VERSE 1]
[G]Somewhere in your wardrobe I'd be [G]willing to bet
there's a[F] t-shirt probly bearing the s[C]ilhouette of Che Guevara
(not sure on this little funky bit as I can't find a way to make it fit in with the
song, just sticking to a pause after the C, but here's what I think it is)

(anyway, on with the show)
He was [G]revolutionary, yeah, he wore a cool hat
but beh[F]ind the design I think you might find it's n[C]ot quite as simple as that
(funky bit)
[Bb5]Che was a bit of a homophobe, [A5]Che was a bit of a homophooooob[G]e x2
[CHORUS]
This is my s[G]ong in def[Bm]ence of the fence [C]
A little sing along, a [D]tribute to ambivalence
The [D#]more you know the harder you will [Bb]find it
To make up your [F]mind it doesn't really matter if you fi[D#]nd
You can't see which grass is gre[D#]ener
Chances are it's [Bb]neither and either way it's [F]easier
To see the diffe[D#]rence when you're [F]sitting on the f[G]ence
[VERSE 2]
[G]Somewhere in your house I'd be willing to bet
there's a [F]picture of that grinning hippy f[C]rom Tibet - the Dalai Llama
(funky town)
He's a l[G]ovely, funny fella, he does good stuff galore
but [F]let's not forget that back in Tibet those f[C]unky monks used to dick the poor yeah
(funktaculous)
[Bb] [A]
And the [Buddhist s[G]lime?] about future lives is the perfect way to stop the powerless
rising up
[Bb] [A]
And he tells the [G]poor they will live again, cos he's rich now so it's easy for him to say
[Chrous]
I'm taking a [G]stand in def[Bm]ence of the fence [C]
I got a little b[C]and playing anthems to a[D]mbivalence
We di[D#]vide the world into terrorists and [Bb]heroes
Into normal folk and [F]weirdos, into good people and [D#]paedos
Into things that give you [D#]cancer and the things that cu-ure [Bb]cancer
And the things that don't cause [F]cancer, but there's a chance they will cause cancer in
the future
We div[D#]ide the world to stop us feeling [Bb]frightened
Into wrong and into r[F]ight and into black and into [D#]white and
into real men and [D#]fairies, into status quo and [Bb]scary
[F] [D#] [F]
yea[G]h we want the world binary, binary, but it's not that simple.
