               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                                                         G7M 
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                                                     G7M 
Home, Cardinal Pell, come down from your citadel
                                                                     D                                     A                         G7M 
It's just the right thing to do, they have a right to know what you knew
                                 G7M                                         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                                                           G7M 
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                                           G7M 
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                                 A 
With your name on it and so, I suggest you toughen up and go
 D                           Bm7                                                                   G7M 
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                                                               G7M 
(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                                                         G7M 
Oh, Cardinal Pell, my lawyer just rang me to tell me
                                               D                   A 
This song could get me in legal trouble
 D                                 Bm9                                               G7M 
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
