Kasey Chambers - Ignorance

From "Barricades & Brickwalls" (2001)
(Kasey Chambers)

Capo: 5th Fret

INTRO: [Cadd9] [G] [Am] [D]

[G]  Don't wanna read the paper
[Em] I don't like bad news
[Am] Last night a man got shot
Out[D]side the house of blues
[G]  I'd like to ignore it
[Em] I'd like to just pretend
[Am] That the reason for it
Is something [D]I can comprehend

[G]  I don't listen to the radio
Last [Em]time it made me cry
[Am] Two boys went crazy
[D]  Fifteen kids died
[G]  And I don't know there familys
I don't [Em]ask them how there going
There on the [Am]other side of the world
But its [D]way to close to home

CHORUS:
[Cadd9] I got something to say
And I thought it [G]might be worth a mention
If your [Am]not pissed off at the world
Then your [D]just not payin' attention
[Cadd9] You can turn off the TV
[G] And go about your day
[Am] but just cause you don't see it
It don't [D]mean it's gone away, hey

INTRO

We [G]don't talk to our neighbours
They've got [Em]funny colored skin
[Am] We see 'em out on the sidewalk
But we [D]don't invite 'em in
[G]  We only eat when were hungry
And we [Em]throw the rest away
While [Am]babys in Cambodia
Are [D]starvin' everyday

We [G]risk our lives, we hit our wives
We act [Em]like everything is funny
We [Am]hide our pain while we go insane
We [D]sell our souls for money
We [G]curse our mums, we build our bombs
We [Em]make our children cry
We [Am]watched the band while Vietnam
Just [D]watched their children die

CHORUS

[Cadd9]  [G]  It won't go a[Am]way  [D]
It won't go a[Cadd9]waaaaaay  [G]
It won't go a[Am]way, it won't go away, it won't go a[D]way
It won't go a[Cadd9]waaaaaay  [G]
It won't go a[Am]way, it won't go away, it won't go a[D]way
Make it go a[Cadd9]way  [G]  [Am]   [D]
