[Verse 1]
G                                 G
Somewhere in your wardrobe I'd be willing to bet
         F                            C
there's a t-shirt probly bearing the silhouette 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)
 
       G
He was revolutionary, yeah, he wore a cool hat
       F                                           C
but behind the design I think you might find it's not quite as simple as that
 
(funky bit)
Bb5                           A5                             G
Che was a bit of a homophobe, Che was a bit of a homophooooobe    x2
 
 
[Chorus]
            G         Bm                 C
This is my song in defence of the fence
                       D
A little sing along, a tribute to ambivalence
    Eb                                Bb
The more you know the harder you will find it
                F                                      Eb
To make up your mind it doesn't really matter if you find
                                Eb
You can't see which grass is greener
                 Bb                          F
Chances are it's neither and either way it's easier
                Eb                F               G
To see the difference when you're sitting on the fence
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
Somewhere in your house I'd be willing to bet
          F                               C
there's a picture of that grinning hippy from Tibet - the Dalai Llama
 
(funky town)
        G
He's a lovely, funny fella, he gives sound bites galore
    F                                          C
but let's not forget that back in Tibet those funky monks used to dick the poor yeah
 
(funktaculous)
         Bb                     A
And the Buddhist line about future lives is the perfect way to stop the powerless
 G
rising up
        Bb                        A                           G
And he tells the poor they will live again, but he's rich now so it's easy for him to say
 
 
[Chorus]
             G           Bm                C
I'm taking a stand in defence of the fence
                C                       D
I got a little band playing anthems to ambivalence
     Eb                                 Bb
We divide the world into terrorists and heroes
                     F                             Eb
Into normal folk and weirdos, into good people and paedos
                          Eb                                Bb
Into things that give you cancer and the things that cu-ure cancer
                                F
And the things that don't cause cancer, but there's a chance they will cause cancer in
the future
      Eb                               Bb
We divide the world to stop us feeling frightened
                     F                            Eb
Into wrong and into right and into black and into white and
                  Eb                           Bb
into real men and fairies, into status quo and scary
                       F                        Eb       F
   G
yeah we want the world binary, binary, but it's not that simple.

a few bars while shaking your head around like a maniac)

I got a little band playing tributes to ambivalence
   Eb                                 Bb
We divide the world into liberals and gun-freaks
                  F                               Eb
Into atheists and fundies, into tee-tot'lers and junkies
                  Eb                          Bb
Into chemical and natural, into fictional and factual
                      F
Into science and supernatural, but it's actually naturally not that white and black
you'll be
  Eb                             Bb
Dividing us into terrorists and heroes
                     F                              Eb
Into normal folk and weirdos, into good people and paedos

And things that don't cause cancer, but there's a chance that in the future
      Eb                               Bb
We divide the world to stop us feeling frightened
                     F                            Eb
Into wrong and into right and into black and into white and
                  Eb                           Bb
into real men and fairies, into status quo and scary
                       F
yeah we want the world binary, binary, 01001000!
