                  G  
It's a lovely day in Ballarat
        Em                              G2                         D  
I'm kicking back thinking of you
G  
I hear that you've been poorly
             Em                                         G2                 D  
I am sorry that you're feeling blue
     Bm  
I know what it's like when you feel a little shitty
          G                                                                                                                            A  
You just wanna curl up and have an itty-bitty doona day
                Bm  
But a lot of people here really miss ya, Georgie
             G                                                                                                                         A  
They really think you oughta a just get on a plane (just get on a plane)
We all just want you to?
D                                                 Bm9                                                                            G7+  
Come home, Cardinal Pell, I know you're not feeling well
                                                                        D                                         A  
And being crook ain't much fun, even so, we think you should come
D                                    Bm9                                                                      G7+  
Home, Cardinal Pell, come down from your citadel
                                                                                          D                                                 A                                 G7+  
It's just the right thing to do, they have a right to know what you knew
                                          G7+                                                      D  
Couldn't you see what was under your nose, Georgie
                        A  
Back in '73 when you were living with Gerry?
                Bm9                                                              D  
Is it true that you knew but you chose to ignore,
                             A  
Or did you actively try to keep it buried?
                          G                                                                                            D/B                                 A  
And years later when survivors, despite their shame and their fear,
                G                                                                                                                         D/A                         A  
Stood up to tell their stories, you spent year after year
                     G                                                                         A  
Working hard to protect the church's assets?
                                Em7                                                                                         A  
I mean with all due respect dude, I think you're scum,
and I reckon you should?
D                                                 Bm9                                                                              G7+  
Come home, Cardinal Pell, we know you're not feeling well
                                                                        D                                         A  
Perhaps you just need some sun, it's lovely here you should come
D                                                      Bm9                                                         G7+  
Home, you pompous buffoon, and I suggest do it soon
                                                                D                                              A  
I hear the tolling of a bell, and it has a Pellian knell
     Bm9                                                                            A                                                                                                    D  
I wanna be transparent here, George, I'm not the greatest fan of your religion
                Bm9                                                                                 A                                                                      D  
And I personally believe that those who cover up abuse should go to prison
                        G                                                            F#m  
But your ethical hypocrisy, your intellectual vacuity
                        G                                                                         A  
And your arrogance don't bother me as much
                  G                                                                                            A  
As the fact that you have turned out to be such a goddamn coward
                        Em  
You're a coward Georgie
                                                F#m  
Come and face the music Georgie
                                                G  
You owe it to the victims Georgie
                                                A  
Come and face the music, the music, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
(notes only)
A  
He would take one look at you and say
D                                            Bm9                                                                      G7+  
Gºhome,  
                                                                  D                                            A  
With your name on it and so, I suggest you toughen up and go
D                                    Bm7                                                                                         G7+  
Home, Cardinal Pell, I'm sure they'll make you feel well
                                                                D                                                      A  
Come at the pub in Ballarat, they just want a beer and a chat
D                                                 Bm7                                                                                    G7+  
(Come home Cardinal Pell) I know you're scared Georgie-Poo
                                          D                                                            A  
(Come home)                    They have a right to know what you do
             Em  
Your time is running out to atone, Georgie
     F#m  
I think the Lord is calling you home, Georgia
        G  
Perhaps he could forgive even you (he may forgive even you)
                  A  
If you just let them know what you knew
D                              Bm9                                                                            G7+  
Oh, Cardinal Pell, my lawyer just rang me to tell me
                                                             D                         A  
This song could get me in legal trouble
D                                            Bm9                                                              G7+  
Oh well, Cardinal Pell, if you don't feel compelled
                                                D                                         A  
To come home by a sense of moral duty
        G2                                    A                                            D  
Perhaps you will come home and frickin' sue me
