Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Well I might seem ambiguous
But [Fm]I don't want to cause a fuss
I [C]just want my bread buttered
on both [G]sides
[C]Someone spread this virus
[Fm]All around the world till it got to us
[C]And now we just sit back
and let thing[G]s slide

[Verse 2]
[G]
So I'm [C]not getting up till I hear the sound
Of the [Fm]whip- poor- will when
the sun goes down
And the [C]garbage man has been
around an[G]d gone
An[C]d the turkey in the oven
is good and dumb
The [Fm]river is filled with linoleum
And the [C]meek inherit the [G]earth from
their friends the scum
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
Am[C]big ambig ambiguous
[Fm]Oo oo oo ambiguous
[C]You[G] might as well remain ambiguous
[C]

[Verse 4]
[C]I asked a woman the other day
[Fm]How you gonna vote on election say
She [C]said she's gonna go for
the man with the [G]nicest tie
Well that [C]sounds like she's
thinking straight
[Fm]He sounds like the candidate
[C]That idea is surely gon[G]na fly

[Verse 5]
[G]
So I [C]went down to the hardware store
For a [Fm]bag of nails and a kitchen door
And some [C]chicken wire to
wrap around my [G]bed
[C]I might seem ambiguous
[Fm]But I don't think it's such a curse
It's [C]better than sticking your [G]neck out
And losing your head
[C][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]Ambig ambig ambiguous
Oo [Fm]oo oo ambiguous
You [C]might as well re[G]main ambigu
[C]ous

[Interlude 1]
[Fm][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 7]
Now [C]there's two sides to every coin
A [Fm]head and a tail and a sidelong [C]join
I'll take either one when
they call [G]the toss
[C]I don't care who'll win or lose
[Fm]Makes no difference who you choose
You [C]might as well remain ambiguous
[G]

[Verse 8]
So I'm [C]not getting up
till I hear the sound
[Fm]Of the whip- poor- will
when the sun goes down
And the [C]garbage man has been
around an[G]d gone
And the tur[C]key in the oven
is good and dumb
The [Fm]river is filled with linoleum
And the [C]meek inherit the [G]earth from their friends
the scum
[C][G]

[Verse 9]
[C]Ambig ambig ambiguous
[Fm]Oo o[C]o oo[G] ambiguo[C]us
You might as well re[G]main ambigu[C]ous[G]
