From proto-Sanskrit Minoans to Porto-centric Lisboans
Am
Greek Cypriots and and Hobis-hots 
                               C        Am

C
Here's where things start getting weird

While chinless men will scratch their beards u huh
C
Tool their minds to sharpened axes 
                        Am
Brush up on the Uralic syntaxes
G
Love of hate acts as an axis

Love of hate acts as an axis uh huh
                            C      Am
First it wanes and then it waxes
                             C     Am
So procreate and pay your taxes

When Coprophagia was writ, know when to stand know when to sit
Am                                                                      C

                F                          C
And that's for those who live and die for numerology

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Practise the change: F ↔ Am
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
