Capo: 3 Tuning: E A D G B E

Capo on 3 - These chords work ok for this Biochemistry-ised version of the Welsh battle song. [Verse 1]

^GIf you ^Cgobble ^Gtaglia^Emtelli, ^CChicken ^Amsoup with ^Dvermcilli, ^GYou’ll ac^Cquire a ^Gsagging ^Embelly – ^GWhat’s the ^Duse of ^Gthat?

[Verse 2]

^GIf your ^Cintake’s ^Gcalor^Emific, ^CGuzzling ^Ambeer till ^Dsoporific, ^GPossi^Cbly you’ll ^Gfeel ter^Emrific, ^GBut you’ll ^Dend up ^Gfat.

[Refrain 1]

^DFat against starvation; ^GFat for insulation; ^GIf you sit hard you’ll bounce on lard ^GWhich substitutes in females for inflation. ^CFat pro^Gvides when ^Amyou are ^Gneeding ^AmGlucogenic when ^Dyou’re seeding ^GProduct ^Cof ex^Gcessive ^Emfeeding ^GHail Ad^Dipo^Gcyte!

[Verse 3]

That ^Gcell does ^Cnot be^Glieve in ^Emspurning ^CExcess ^Amfood that ^Dit's not burning. ^GTherefore ^Ccarboy^Ghdrate ^Emturning ^GTo an ^Dace^Gtyl

[Verse 4]

^GTrapped ^Cinside the ^Gmatrix ^Emspaces ^CCoA ^Amesters ^Din such places ^GNeed to ^Cshow some ^Gfancy ^Empaces ^GAnd a ^Ddash of ^Gstyle

[Refrain 2]

^DHence, citrate formation, ^GAnion translocation ^G(The other way, goes malate,say) ^GAnd cleavage then reverses condensation ^CAce^Gtyl Co^AmA for^Gmation ^AmOutside ready ^Dfor ligation ^GNow forms ^Cby car^Gboxy^Emlation ^GMalo^Dnyl Co^GA.

[Verse 5]

^GFatty ^Cacid ^Gsynthe^Emtase is ^CSo comp^Amlex that ^Dit amazes ^GBy the ^Csubtle ^Ginter^Emphases ^GBetween ^Devery ^Gpiece.

[Verse 6]

^GTwice we ^Cfind a ^Gthiol ^Emcentre ^CThrough which ^Amall new ^Dcarbons enter ^GStructured ^Cso as ^Gto pre^Emvent a ^GPrema^Dture re^Glease

[Refrain 3]

^DFirst one on the scene I'll ^GSay is pantothenyl On ^GACP, as we shall see, ^GA carrier of acyl groups, but meanwhile ^CThere's an ^Gouter ^Amthiol ^Gstation ^AmMuch involved in ^Dcondensation ^GStarts off ^Cwith an ^Gacy^Emlation ^GBy an ^Dace^Gtyl.

[Verse 7]

^GFirstly, ^Cnow that's ^Gall been ^Emstated C Am D A-P-Cs malonylated, ^GWhich of ^Ccourse is ^Ginte^Emgrated ^GWith Co^DA re^Glease.

[Verse 8]

^GNow ^Cthere is ^Ga new ^Emligation ^CPaid by ^Amdecar^Dboxylation ^GAce^Ctyl from ^Gouter ^Emstation ^GMakes a ^DC4 ^Gpiece.

[Refrain 3]

^DReally it's quite neat, oh! ^GNature doesn't veto What ^Gwe've just seen, on methylene ^GGives ACP with acyl Beta keto, ^CA-C-^GP now ^Amacts as ^Ghinging, ^AmKeto acyl ^Dis now swinging ^GTill its ^Cketo ^Ggroup it's ^Embringing ^GTo the ^Dreduc^Gtase.

[Verse 9]

^GIf when ^Cwe're me^Gtabo^Emlising ^CIt's for ^Ambio^Dsynthesising G C G Em N-A-D-P-H arising ^GHas a ^Drea^Gdy use.

[Verse 10]

^GPentose ^Cphosphate ^GH^Em-extraction, ^CAlso ^Ammalic ^Denzyme action, ^GAll in ^Ccyto^Gsolic ^Emfraction, ^GAll se^Dt to re^Gduce

[Refrain 4]

^DKeto group reduction, ^GHydroxy construction ^GOn A-C-P, so never free, ^GHydroxy Beta butyryl production, ^CNext we ^Gswing to ^Amdehy^Gdration, Am D Enoyl A-C-P formation, ^GThen a ^Cnew hy^Gdroge^Emnation ^GSatu^Drates ^Gthe chain.

[Verse 11]

^GAcyl ^Cfate is ^Gnow trans^Emferal ^CTo free ^Amthiols ^Dperipheral, ^GPanto^Cthenyls ^Gthus pre^Empare all, ^GFor the ^Dnext ^Gattack,

[Verse 12]

^GAs in ^Ccircuit ^Gwe've just ^Emended ^CMalo^Amnyl is ^Dapprehended, G C G Em A-C-P again appended, ^GC4 ^Dnow pas^Gsed back,

[Refrain 5]

^DBicarb, generating, ^GC6 thus creating, ^GAgain we've got, on Beta spot, ^GA keto in the chain we're saturating, ^CThat's re^Gduced, ^Amthen dehy^Gdrated, ^AmDouble bond e^Dliminated, ^GNow re^Cpeat, till ^Gwe've cre^Emated ^GPalmi^Dtoyl ^GCoA!
