Alanis Morissette – Citizen Of The Planet (Guitar)

C                 C7                            Fm
I start up in the north, I grow up from special seed

                   C
I sprinkle it with sensibility

     C                    C7
From French and Hungarian snow

                Fm                          C
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full

     C                 C7              Fm
Then I move across the sea to European bliss

               C
To language of poets

   C                 C7
As I cut the cord of home

                   Fm                      C
I kiss my mother's mother, look to the horizon

C              C7
Wide-eyed, new ground

        Fm           C
Humbled by my new surroundings

       C
I am a citizen of the planet

        C
My president is Kwan Yin

       C
My frontier is on an airplane

   C
My prisons: homes for rehabilitating

     C                C7                       Fm
Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear

                  C
But everything is different

     C                          C7
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened

           Fm                         C
Patriotism expanded, by callings from beyond

   C         C7
So I pack my things

        Fm
Nothing precious

           C
All things sacred

       C
I am a citizen of the planet

            C
My laws are all of attraction

         C
My punishments are consequences

     C
Separating from source the original sin

       C
I am a citizen of the planet

  C
Democracy's kids are sovereign

          C
Where the teachers are the sages

        C
And pedestals fill with every parent

    C                          C7
And so, the next few years are blurry

                    Fm                          C
The next decade's a flurry of smells and tastes unknown

C                                  C7
Threads sewn straight through this fabric

                        Fm                    C
Through fields of every color, one culture to another

    C      C7
And I come alive

          Fm
And I get giddy

         C
And I am taken and globally naturalized

       C
I am a citizen of the planet

            C
From simple roots through high vision

     C
I am guarded by the angels

        C
And my body guides the direction I go in

       C
I am a citizen of the planet

            C
My favorite pastime: edge-stretching

         C
Besotten with human condition

      C
These ideals are born from my deepest within
