Heres the whole song. I put in where to play each riff. This should be accurate.
Note:
*: Riff 3 is eight beats long, just like each line of the verses. Make sure to play the dead
notes and open note on each beat.
INTRO:
Riff 1 and then Riff 2 (x2)
VERSE:
(Play Riff 3 as they sing) *
Don't want to be A Canadian idiot.
Riff 1
(Play Riff 3 as they sing) *
Dont want to be some beer swillin' hockey nut.
Riff 2
(Play Riff 3 as they sing) *
and do I look like some frost bitten hosehead?
Riff 1
(no chords)
I never learned my alphabet from "A" to "Zed".
Riff 2
Chorus:
Chorus Riff 1
They all live on donuts and moose meat
and they leave the house without packin' heat
never even bring their guns to the mall
Chorus Riff 2
and you know what else is too funny
their stupid monopoly money
can't take 'em seriously at all…
[drum solo]
(Wait eight beats then play the riffs)
Riff 1
Riff 2
Verse 2:
(Play Riff 3 as they sing) *
Well maple syrup and snow's what they export
Riff 1
(Play Riff 3 as they sing) *
they treat curling just like it's A real sport
Riff 2
(Play Riff 3 as they sing) *
they think their silly accent is so cute
Riff 1
(Play Riff 3 as they sing) *
can't understand A thing they're talking aboot
Riff 2
Chorus:
Chorus Riff 1
sure they got their national health care
cheaper meds low crime rates and clean air
then again well they got celine dion
Chorus Riff 2
eat their weight in kraft macaroni
and dream of driving a zamboni
all over Saskatchewan
[Instrumental]

Verse:
Riff 2
Don't want to be a Canadian idiot
Riff 2
Won't figure out the temperature in Celcius
Riff 2
see the map they're hovering right over us
(no chords)
tell you the truth it makes me kinda nervous
Chorus:
Chorus Riff 1
always hear the same kind of story
break their nose and they'll just say sorry
tell me what kind of freaks are that polite
Chorus Riff 2
It's gotta mean they're all up to something
so quick before they see it coming
time for a pre-emptive strike
