Enjoy another fantastic piece of the one and only Tiiiim Minchin!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 This first movement is called: 
Feminism

VERSE
                           Eb             
I believe that women have the right
   F
To walk the streets at night
    Dm
And not be afraid 
                  Gm
for their lives

I believe that a woman has the right
To choose what happens to her body
Without suffering the judgement
Of the conservative right

And I believe that women have the right
to wear the clothes they like
Without being treated 
like dirt

And I believe we men are pathetic
how we seem to judge aesthetic
As the measure 
of a woman's worth


BRIDGE
        Eb7                                             Dm
I'm ashamed on behalf of my sex
                   Cm7    F         Bb
For making women feel like objects


CHORUS
                                  Eb     F              Bb
Fuck I love boobs though, I just really love them
                                  Eb     F              Bb      Dm
Fuck I love boobs though, I just wanna rub them
                                  Eb                                     F
They're just so jooby, they make me feel groovy
        Dm                        Gm
I would rather watch boobs than a movie
           Eb  F                   Bb/Gm
Be doop be doo. I just really like boobs.




And this second movement is called:
Poverty (altruism)


VERSE (Eb F Dm Gm)
I believe people are entitled 
to basic human rights
Whether they are rich 
or they're poor

I believe a world where no children 
are starving
Is a world 
worth fighting for

And I try to remind myself
Even when I'm struggling
How incredibly lucky 
I am

And I don't think it's ok
That the luxuries I crave
Should come at the expense 
of my fellow man


BRIDGE (Eb7 Dm Cm7 F Bb)
I'm sure I could give a little more
To alleviate the suffering of the poor.


[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/tim_minchin/confessions_crd_ver_2.html ]
CHORUS (Eb F Bb, Eb F Bb Dm, Eb F Dm Gm, Eb F Bb)
Fuck I love boobs though
I just really love them
I don't really mind if I am behind
Below or above them

They're just so jubbly
They make me feel lovely
I'd rather own boobs than a pub, be
Doop be doop doop doo doo doo
I really love boobs



The third movement:
Enviromentalism

VERSE (Eb F Dm Gm)
I believe the that planet we live in
Is a living organism
And we must 
treat her carefully

I don't think we can assume
We can just go on consuming
Her resources 
indefinitely

BRIDGE (Eb7 Dm Cm7 F Bb)
The world's not a bottomless pit
And we can all do our little bit


CHORUS (Eb F Bb, Eb F Bb Dm, Eb F Dm Gm, Eb F Bb)
Fuck I love boobs though
I just really care for 'em
They're equally fun
When they're aged 21
Or octogenarian
They're just so flappy
They make me feel happy
I'd rather eat boobs than a bap, be
Doop be doo
I just really love boobs


OUTRO
Evolutionary theory says bosoms 
are buttock-like protrusions
Designed to tempt men 
in situations

When they can't get a glimpse 
of your bum
I find such 
hypotheses dumb It's like the one that says

Eb
Lipstick is for 
           F
making your lips look more
         Bb
Like the lips 
         Dm     
of a happy 
  Gm
vagina

            Eb
Since they said that I can't 
Ebm
look my great aunt
       F
In the eye
Dm                              Gm
Why'd they have to say that, oh why?


          Eb                   Dm
From that first little suck of colostrum
        Eb                            Dm
To the grope of the the nurse in the old people's hostel
       Cm      Dm  Eb      Ebdim  F
We're just fucking monkeys in     shoes

    Bb  Gm  Eb
And I
     F           Bb    Gm  Eb
Will always love boobs
       Eb F        Bb
I will always love boobs


This is as accurate as I could get it. Comments are welcome!
