RE FA#m SOL LA
I’m so content, to stand in line
RE FA#m SOL LA
Wait and see, pass the time
RE FA#m SOL LA
Talk a streak, fall asleep
RE FA#m SOL LA
Wake up late, whine and weep
SIm
I kiss the hand that slaps me senseless
LA SIm LA
I’m so accepting, I am so defenseless
REm LAm REm LAm REm
I am far too Canadian, I am far too Canadian
I pick the bones of what’s been done and I
Lick them clean with a cautious tongue
In dim-lit rooms, I spill my guts
I’m the revolution when the doors are shut
I’d bite the hand that slaps me senseless
But my patience, it is too relentless
I am far too Canadian, I am far too Canadian
Bridge:
RE SOL LA
I am the face of my country
FA#m SIm
Expressionless and small
RE SOL LA
Weak at the knees, shaking badly
FA#m SIm
Can’t straighten up at all
SOL LA FA#m SIm
I watch the spine of my country bend and break
SOL LA RE
I’m in a sorry state
I scratch the walls to mark the days
With my coup de tete I am locked away
With mother Jones, pots of tea
The kitchen poster, anarchy
I never march in demonstrations
I hold my breath for arbitration
I am far too Canadian, I am far too Canadian
I am far too Canadian, I am far too Canadian
SOL LA RE
I am a sorry state
SOL LA RE
Won’t you welcome to the sorry state…
Just a note: most of the F#m’s can also be played as F#m 7th, if you
prefer. This sounds most authentic on an acoustic.
