Tim Minchin & Ed Sheeran - Prejudice chords
Start Jamming...
[D] You know the song about [C] prejudice?
Love, Peace.
[Em]
It's about language, the power of language, the [D] power of the language that preaches this.
[C] It's called [D]
[Em]
Prejudice.
[C] [Em] [D]
[Em] In our modern free-spoken society, [E] there is a word that we still hold taboo.
[G] A word with a [C] terrible history of [D] being used to abuse, oppress and subdue.
[E] Just six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way that will [Bm] form a word
[C] with more power than the pieces of metal [B] that are forged to make small words.
[C] Capital G's, an R [D] and an E, an I and [B] an N.
[F#] [C] These little letters are jumbled [D] together [B] of cause damage that we may [A] never mend.
[E] And it's a form [Em] that we all [D] respect.
And I think people should happen to choose to [C] reclaim the word as their own.
[Bm] It doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to abuse.
So [Em] never underestimate [D] the power that language imparts.
[C] Sticks and stones may break our [B] bones, but words can break hearts.
A couple of [C] G's, G's, unless you have to live it.
An R and an E, [D] even I am careful with it.
An I [E] and an N, in the [Bm] end it will only offend.
Don't want [C] to have to spell [B] it out again.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
Ed Sheeran.

[C] We're [B] the [G] Duttonhouse.
[C] We will stand up to the fighting of [F] our fighters.
But if you cut [G] yourself, you might catch the virus.
[C] So maybe you should shut [D] your mouth.
[G]
Only a [F] princess.
Not a [F#] princess.
[D]
Only a [A#] princess.
Not [F#] a princess.

You're the best [F] you've ever had.
I'm the princess of the dream.
[Gm] Only a princess.
[F] [D#m] [D] [D#]
The kids will always be welcome [F] back.
This pop is going to be [E] great.
I'm the princess of [F] red.
I'm pretty smart because I'm a red.
[Em] And by red, I mean [F#] red.
I'm the only [A] [G]
princess.
Sing [E] it.

And we coming back in slummies.
