The Professor (Live at Cornucopia Café, Dublin)
Capo 3
Hello everyone. This is also largely not my tab, but copy pasted and then changed
to show the entire song from beginning to end, and from what I've seen Damien
himself play live. Note that the french part of the song isn't tabbed as Damien
plays it but the chord combination still works. Also note that the G7 chord isn't
a G7 chord but a slightly altered one because I couldn't find the right name for it.

Bombed by excellent breed of gamete disease

Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Am G7
Here's to the man with his face in the mud
F Em
And an overcast play just taken away
F G7
From the lover’s in love at the center of stage, yeah
Fmaj7
Loving is fine if you have plenty of time
G6
For walking on stilts, at the edge of your mind and
Fmaj7
Loving is good if your dick's made of wood
G6
And the dick left inside, only half understood her
Fmaj7
What makes her come and what makes her stay
G6
What makes the animal run, run away, yeah
Fmaj7
What makes him stall, what makes him stand
G6 (mute)
And what shakes the elephant now and what makes a man

Am G7
Why the fuck is this day taking so long
F Em
I was a lover of time and once she was mine
F G7
I was a lover indeed, I was covered in weed
C E7
Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Am G7
Well closer to God is the one who's in love
F Em
And I walk away cause I can
F G7
Too many options may kill a man
Fmaj7
Loving is fine if it's not in your mind
G6
But I've fucked it up now, too many times
Fmaj7
Loving is good if it's not understood
G6
Yeah, but I'm the professor and feel that I should know
Fmaj7
What makes her come and what makes her stay
G6
What makes the animal run, run away and
Fmaj7
What makes him tick apart from him prick
G6
And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick
