^DI?m so conte^F#mnt, ^Gto stand in li^Ane ^DWait and s^F#mee, p^Gass the tim^Ae ^DTalk a str^F#meak, f^Gall as^Aleep ^DWake up l^F#mate, wh^Gine and w^Aeep I kiss the hand^Bm that slaps me senseless ^AI?m so accepting, I am^Bm so defen^Aseless ^DmI am far^Am too Can^Dmadian, I am far^Am too Cana^Dmdian

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:

^DI am the f^Gace of my co^Auntry ^F#mExpressionless and sm^Bmall ^DWeak at the kn^Gees, shaking ba^Adly ^F#mCan?t straighten up at al^Bml I watch the sp^Gine of my c^Aountry b^F#mend and b^Bmreak ^GI?m in a so^Arry st^Date

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

^GI am a so^Arry s^Dtate Won?t you w^Gelcome to the s^Aorry st^Date?

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.
