Monsieur DuGpont he was an ordinary G/Bfellow
Cadd9Equally bad and Em7goodDsus4  
Cadd9Got sick of women so he G/Bgot into porno
Cadd9And gave to charities 'cause he knew Dsus4he should

Verse
He had a car and a home on the Northside
Respectable neighbourhood
And all his struggling to obtain riches
Laying dead it doesn't do him much good
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world
And yet to lose his soul
What does it profit a man to love little
And not be loved at all
Chorus
Middle
GIn my life G/BI pray
Cadd9I don't just Em7follow Dsus4blindly                 x2
Cadd9All the plans preEm7set for me
And Cadd9without question become my Dsus4enemy
Verse
The factory people carry on without him
Another face occupies his place
He had friends but he never really knew them
Such a shame that he went so young
Above the terraces and multi-storey car parks
He will be sitting trial
Too late to gasp out for God at his last breath
Hoping that he's got a loophole or two left
