F x-x-7-5-6-5
G x-x-9-7-8-7
[Verse 1]
C
When I was a young choirboy
F
I’d go into a pew
G
And those old choirmasters
C
You know what they would do
C
And after they had had with me
F
Had their evil way
G
They took me in the confessional
C
And this is what they’d say
[Chorus]
F C
If you’re not interfered with as a child
G C
Then you haven’t lived
[Verse 2]
C
The priest would follow after
F
How he’d follow through
G
He’d stick it into me so hard
C
My face it would turn blue
C
And after he had had with me
F
Had his evil way
G
He took me in the confessional
C
And this is what he’d say
[Chorus]
F C
If you’re not interfered with as a child
G C
Then you haven’t lived
[Verse 3]
C
Well come the priests’ convention
F
I’d get mighty sore
G
Those priests would all stick it in
C
The blood from me would pour
C
And after they had all gangbanged me
F
Their organs they’d all play
G
Then they’d sing the harmony
C
And this is what they’d say:
[Chorus]
F C
If you’re not interfered with as a child
G C
Then you haven’t lived
[Chorus]
F C
If you’re not interfered with as a child
G C
Then you haven’t lived
[Verse 4]
C
Well now I am an old man
F
And I too took the vow
G
And those young choirboys whoooh
C
How I love them how
C
And after I have had with them
F
Had my evil way
G
I take them in the confessional
C
And this is what I say
[Chorus] (x6)
F C
If you’re not interfered with as a child
G C
Then you haven’t lived
[Outro]
