TITLE: It Ain't Necessarily So
Lyrics and Chords


[Porgy and Bess]

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
De things dat yo' liable to read in de Bible
It ain't necessarily so

/ Am D Am D / Am D Am - / D7 Eb7 D7 Eb7 / B7 E7 Am - /

Li'l David was small but oh my
Li'l David was small but oh my
He fought big Goliath who lay down and dieth
Li'l David was small but oh my

Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
For he made his home in dat fish's abdomen
Oh Jonah he lived in de whale

Li'l Moses was found in a stream
Li'l Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water 'til ole Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him she says from that stream

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
Dey tell all you chillun de debble's a villain
But 'taint necessarily so

To get into Hebben don' snap for a sebben
Live clean, don' have no fault
Oh I takes de gospel whenever it's pos'ble
But wid a grain of salt

/ F7 Bb - - / Bm7 E7 A6 A7 / D7 - G G6 / B7sus4 B7 D7 - /

Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
But who calls dat livin' when no gal'll give in
To no man what's nine hundred years

I'm preachin' dis sermon to show
It ain't nessa, ain't nessa
Ain't nessa, ain't nessa
It ain't necessarily so

/ Dm6 - A E7 / D C#7 / F#m Dm6 /
 
Sorry to break from the trend but surerly most of Eminem,Biggie and Tupac songs hold the best and most intresting lyrics?
 
Manic Street Preachers - Mausoleum

Wherever you go I will be carcass
whatever you see will be rotting flesh
humanity recovered glittering etiquette
answers her crimes with Mausoleum rent
regained your self-control
and regained your self-esteem
and blind your success inspires
and analyse, despise and scrutinise
never knowing what you hoped for
and safe and warm but life is so silent
for the victims who have no speech
in their shapeless guilty remorse
obliterates your meaning
obliterates your meaning
obliterates your meaning
your meaning, your meaning
no birds - no birds
the sky is swollen black
no birds - no birds
holy mass of dead insect
come and walk down memory lane
no one sees a thing but they can pretend
life eternal scorched grass and trees
for your love nature has haemorrhaged
regained your self-control
and regained your self-esteem
and blind your success inspires
and analyse, despise and scrutinise
never knowing what you hoped for
and safe and warm but life is so silent
for the victims who have no speech
in their shapeless guilty remorse
obliterates your meaning
obliterates your meaning
obliterates your meaning
your meaning, your meaning
no birds - no birds
the sky is swollen black
no birds - no birds
holy mass of dead insect
and life can be as important as death
but so mediocre when there's no air, no light and no hope
prejudice burns brighter when it's all we have to burn
the world lances youth's lamb-like winter, winter.

The Manic St Preachers' Holy Bible album is really dark, sometimes hard to listen to, but lyrically it is the work of a fucked up genius. Complex aint the word.

Part of Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles.

Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

Worst Lyric?

I'm as serious as cancer, when I say rhythm is a dancer.
Worst lyric, from 'House Party - 3OH!3'.

I’m gonna have a house party in my house.
I’m gonna pour booze down my mouth.
I might stay up until the a.m.
Yeah I think tonight I’m just gonna stay in.

Pass Out by Tine Tempah

They say hello, they say hola and they say bonjour,
