A Certain Celebrity

F6
If you put a gun to my head

                   E
And make me pick a celebrity

            Dm
Please hear me when I sing


I know it's a horrible thing

           C       C7
To wish on anybody


         F
But if I had to pick one

             E
Out of every celebrity

             D
Well, having paused and reflected


I'm sure you'd have selected

    Gm             C7
The same one as me



   F7
I remember what I thought of her this time last year


And I feel that way still

      Bb
Don't tell me you had any sympathy for her

   Gm7             C7
Before she was ill.


       F6
With a hand on my heart

              E
It's a tragic thing to occur

       Dm
But if somebody's capers


Are removed from the papers

    C
I'm glad it was her


               F6
This time next month or next year

             E
I'll still recoil at her name

          Dm
The basic roll she fulfils


And her parenting skills

        Gm              C7
Will be mostly the same



F7
Mark my words, when she finally goes


There'll be only words of praise

           Bb
She'll be "simple and brave" instead of stupid and racist

    Gm7          C7
For several days


Dm
I know it sounds cruel but I challenge 

    F               Am
Any one of you to admit

          Gm                                         Bb
That when you heard the news, you didn't hold back a smile

     C             F
Even just a little bit
