Verse 1

    Em
The prophet and martyr Kurt Cobain
      Am7
Said, "God is gay", and that's okay
        C/G
If he'd only let us live this way
    Cadd9/F#
I'm sure we'd be the best of friends
      Em/alt           D
Yeah, he'd fuck us and we'd fuck him
    C                 C/G
I'd love to taste his pearly quim
       Cadd9/F#
He can tell me what kind of man I am

Repeat intro

Verse 2

Em
All you sucking sycophants
     Am7
Be- -neath Christ's pants with active hands
C/G
Only want him to come again
      Cadd9/F#
But I guess he's just a little too spent
    Em/alt            D
You know the flood is imminent
      C                     C/G
It'll gush right forth, the world left rent
        Cadd9/F#
Will we be hellbound or Heaven-sent?

Repeat intro
