Tony Cox - House Of Parliament Blues


Verse 1:
 E7E7
I went down to Cape Town, Kaapstad town

Cute li'l cousin there, show me around
    A7A7
We were walking there by Gardens, said, better beware
  E7E7
The Houses of Parliament's just over there
    B7B7
I could hear screaming and shouting from above
  A7A7            G+G    B7B7
Disturbing the trees and the Garden's doves

Verse 2:
   E7E7
Said, cuz we have to go there, to this sight

When we got there we had a hell of a fright
    A7A7
'Cause there was Juju running his mouth off once again
 E7E7
Police were in the chamber, there was a hell of a din
  B7B7
The Speaker was crying to the heavens above
  A7A7            G+G     B7B7
Shivambu gave the finger to Zuma with love


Chorus:
       E7E7
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)

Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
       A7A7
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
       E7E7
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
       B7B7        G+G     E7E7   B7B7
Voetsek, shutup! The House of Parliament blues


Verse 3:
   E7E7
Don't take your time and trouble to get your relief

Paid all your taxes to a common thief
  A7A7
Forget about decorum and a motion passed
     E7E7
If you're sitting with the opposition, you'll see your arse
   B7B7
With all the ducking and diving that goes on
      A7A7                 G+G    B7B7
They'll be throwing their weight in punches before too long

Chorus:
       E7E7
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)

Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
       A7A7
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
       E7E7
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
       B7B7        G+G     E7E7   B7B7
Voetsek, shutup! The House of Parliament blues


Verse 4:
  E7E7
So if you go to Cape Town, Kaapstad tiown

Avoid the House of Parley, it'll only bring you down
A7A7
Rather buy a milkshake at the Garden Café
E7E7
Keep a healthy distance, turn your ears away
     B7B7
Or you'll hear that swearing and shouting from above
  A7A7            G+G    B7B7
Disturbing the trees and the Garden's doves


Chorus:
       E7E7
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)

Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
       A7A7
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
       E7E7
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
       B7B7        G+G
Voetsek, shutup! The House of Parliament
   B7B7     G+G
Those Houses of Parliament
  B7B7    G+G   B7B7  E7E7
