D5           F#5 G5             A5
I?m so content, to stand in line
D5         F#5  G5          A5
Wait and see, pass the time
D5         F#5   G5     A5
Talk a streak, fall asleep
D5        F#5    G5        A5
Wake up late, whine and weep
               B5
I kiss the hand that slaps me senseless
A5                     B5       A5
I?m so accepting, I am so defenseless
D5      A5      D5             A5       D5
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:
D5         G5           A5
I am the face of my country
F#5                  B5
Expressionless and small
D5             G5              A5
Weak at the knees, shaking badly
F#5                      B5
Can?t straighten up at all
              G5          A5       F#5      B5
I watch the spine of my country bend and break
G5          A5     D5
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

G5        A5    D5
I am a sorry state
           G5              A5      D5
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.
