[Verse]
Em In our modern free spoken society D There is a word that we still hold taboo C D A word with a terrible history of being used to abuse oppress and subdue Em D Just six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way that will form a word C B With more power than the pieces of metal that are forged to make swords C D Em A couple of G's an R and an E an I and an N C D B Just six little letters all jumbled together have caused damage that we may never mend Em D And it's important that we all respect that if these people should happen to choose to C D Reclaim the word as their own it doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to it's use Em D So never under estimate the power that language imparts C B Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can break hearts C D A couple of G's; geez unless you have had to live it, an R and an E; even I am careful with it Em D C An I and an aNd in the end it will only offend don't want to have to spell B it out again

[Chorus]
Em D C B D Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger Em D C B D Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger C So listen to me if you care for your health D B You wont call me ginger less your ginger yourself Em D C B Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
[Verse]
Em G When you are a ginger life is pretty hard C7 F Years of ritual bullying in the school yard Em G Kids calling you ranga and fanta pants C7 F No invitation to the high school dance Em G But you get up and learn to hold your head up C7 F You try to keep your cool and not get fed up Em G But until the feeling of ill is truly let up C7 B7 Then the word is ours and ours alone don't you know
[Chorus]
Em D C B D Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger Em D C B D Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger C So if you call us ginge we just might come unhinged D Bb7 If you don't have a fringe with at least a tinge of the ginge in it Em D C B Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
[Verse]
Em G Now listen to me we're not looking for sympathy C7 Fsus4 F Just because we are sensitive to UV Em G Just ‘cause we're pathetically pale C7 F We do alright with the females Em G Yeah I like to ask the ladies round for ginger beer C7 F And soon they're running their fingers through my ginger beard Em G And dunking my ginger nuts into their ginger tea C7 G And asking if they can call me ginge, And I say I don't think that's appropriate Em D C B D Cus only a ginger can call another ginger ginger Em D C B D Only a ginga can call another ginga ginga C D And all the ladies agree it's a fact once you've gone ginge you can't go back Em D C B Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
Yeah go ginge go you funky ginge
Em G Yeah you can call us bozo or fire truck C7 Bb F You can even call us carrot top or blood nut Em G Yeah you can call us match stick or tampon C7 D But f**king with the G word is just not on Em G If you're a ginger-phobe and you don't like us C7 F You gonna stand up to the fight if you want to fight us Em But if you cut yourself you might catch gingervitus G D F F# Gm So maybe you should shut your funky mouth
