Bo Burnham – Oh My God Song From The Perspective Of God chords
Chords:
This is Bo Burnham's "song from the perspective of God." Genius comic. Really brilliant stuff. Don't let the way I've distributed the chords to the lyrics confuse you. It's a simple song in 4/4 with no weird tempo or time signature changes. Only a key change after the last refrain. Excluding the refrain, each chord gets one bar (four beats) and there's a lot of repetition. It's not hard to figure out. Also note that there are a couple versions of this song so far. This transcription is based on what I'm pretty sure is the latest and probably complete version. http://youtu.be/MzA_jQeA1EA Intro (slower): E A C#m B Verse 1 (up to tempo):E A C#m BI've never written a book in my lifeE A'Cause your tiny brains would never get it.C#m B AMe compared to Shakespeare's like Shakespeare compared to Shakespeare's wife.BI gave you everything, butE C#mI gave you simple minds so you made simple things.A BI gave you healthy birds, you made chicken wings.E C#mI gave you nipples, you made nipple rings.E AYou're not going to heaven.C#m BWhy would you ever think I'd ever hang out with you?E AYou're all dicks, I don't need you.C#m B A BI know a million aliens cooler than you.So, fuck you.
