I’m so content, to stand in line
D F#m G AWait and see, pass the time
D F#m G ATalk a streak, fall asleep
Wake up late, whine and weep
BmI kiss the hand that slaps me senseless
A Bm AI’m so accepting, I am so defenseless
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:
I am the face of my country
F#m BmExpressionless and small
D G AWeak at the knees, shaking badly
Can’t straighten up at all
G A F#m BmI watch the spine of my country bend and break
G A DI’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
G A D
I am a sorry state
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.
