E
Rolling hills all covered in suede

   D     A            E
I'm heat nervous and out of road

E
Downtown there's a parade

D      A           E
But I don't think I want to go

E
Smart as trees in Sault Saint Marie

 D   A       E
I can speak my mother tongue

E
Passing laws, just because

    D        A                E
And singing songs Of the English unsung

    D         E
Well, how could you do it?

    D            E
Well, how could you even try?

             D           E
When you were born in the water

             D                    E
And you were raised up in the sky?

E
Front seat stamped by the window

 D       A      E
No erasees in this game

E
Arbitrary as the wind blows

   D         A     E
It's another way to lay claim

E
Ain't no cause for bloodthirsting

 D   A      E
In a little town so dry

E
Where the angels dance on a pinhead

D           A         E
Just to make room for you and I

      D        E
Well, how could you do it?

      D            E
Well, how could you even try?

              D          E
When you were born in the water

             D                  B   D   E
And you were raised up in the sky?

E
Thoroughbred with their great big heads

   D     A         E
Think a mile might be too far

E
Highway horses laugh but of course

D             A                E
When they don't know where the hell they are

E
Well, smart as trees in Sault Saint Marie

D           E
Victorious mother tounge

E
Passing laws just because

    D       A           E
And singing songs of the English unsung

      D        E
Well, how could you do it?

      D             E
Well, how could you even try?

             D            E
When you were born in the water

             D
And you were raised up

      D        E
Well, how could you do it?

       D            E
Well, how could you even try?

              D            E
When you were born in the water

             D                 E
And you were raised up in the sky?
