You Gotta Love Spammers (Yes you do) by Darryl John (c) 2008


Intro: C D7 F G Am

Verse 1:
(C) Got on the ‘Net late last (D7) night,
(F) What I (G) saw gave me a (Am) fright.
I just logged on to check my (D7) mail,
(F) Products guaran-(G)-teed not to (Am) fail.
(Am) Did I want some online (D7) Meds?
(F) Won’t get (G) busted by the (Am) Feds.
Improved credit rating over-(D7)-night,
(F) Thought a-(G)-loud, that sounds al-(Am)-right.

Verse 2:
(C) Did I want a bigger (D7) bust?
(F) If I were female (G) that’s a (Am) must.
Did I want to learn to (D7) sing?
(F) Maybe a (G) gold wedding (Am) ring.
(Am) A laptop delivered for (D7) free,
(F) Piano (G) lessons, not for (Am) me.
Find a job that pays top (D7) dough,
(f) Sign up (G) now, you’ll never (Am) know.

Chorus:
(F)You gotta love (G) spammers, yes you (Am) do,
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, ooh ooh (Am) ooh.
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, that’s so (Am) true,
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, yes you (Am) do.

Verse 3:
(C) Shoot the duck and win the (D7) prize,
(F) Plasma (G) TV that’s real (Am) nice.
How much Viagra did I (D7) need?
(F) Promised (G) it would do the (Am) deed.
(Am) Meet old school friends, yes si-(D7)-ree,
(F) Sign up (G) now, it’s all for (Am) free.
Business cards, well I don’t (D7) know,
(F) Vita-(G)-mins to make me (Am) grow.

INSTRUMENTAL: (half verse)

Chorus:
(F)You gotta love (G) spammers, yes you (Am) do,
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, ooh ooh (Am) ooh.
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, that’s so (Am) true,
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, yes you (Am) do.

Verse 4:
(C) Sign up now for a free (D7) trial,
(F) Ours is (G) better by a (Am) mile.
Give us all your details (D7) first,
(F) On the (G) hotlist, could be (Am) worse.
(Am) We’ll deliver or money (D7) back,
(F) Hook up (G) now with Jill or (Am) Jack.
No obligation, that’s the (D7) go,
(F) All these (G) offers, I don’t (Am) know.

Bridge:
(C) I was confused,
(G) I was unsure.
(F) Who could I trust?
(G) There’s so much more.
(C) What should I do?
(G) Which way to go,
(F) I’m so confused,
(G) I just don’t know.

Verse 5:
(C) How much more could I (D7) take?
(F) This one (G) really takes the (Am) cake.
Make a million in a (D7) week,
(F) Look for (G) work, if you’re a (Am) geek.
(Am) Surfed the Net and fooled a-(D7)-round.
(F) Spammers (G) everywhere were (Am) found.
Spam was spinning inside my (D7) head,
(F) I'd had e-(G)-nough, I went to (Am) bed.

Chorus:
(F)You gotta love (G) spammers, yes you (Am) do,
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, ooh ooh (Am) ooh.
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, that’s so (Am) true,
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, yes you (Am) do.
(F) Gotta love (G) spammers, yes you (C) do.
