Song
Far Too Canadian – Spirit of the West
From the Album “Go Figure” 1991
No Capo Strum Pattern - DDUUDU
---------------------------------------------------------
[Intro] x 2
Verse 1
I'm so content, to stand in line
Wait and see, pass the time
Talk a streak, fall alseep,
Wake up late, whine and weep
Chorus
I kiss the hand that slaps me senseless
I'm so accepting, I am so defenseless
I am far too Canadian
I am Far too Canadian
Verse 2
I pick the bones, of what's been done, and I’ll
Lick them clean, with a cautious tongue
In dim lit rooms, I spill my guts
I'm the revolution when the doors are shut
Chorus
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
I am the face of my country
Expressionless and small
Weak at the knees, shaking badly
Can't straighten up at all
I watch the spine of my country
Bend and break
I'm in a sorry state
Solo – Flute and Accordion
Verse 3
I scratch the walls, to mark the days, with my
Coup d'état, I am locked away
With Mother Jones, pots of tea
The kitchen poster, anarchy
Chorus
I never march in demonstrations
I hold my breath for arbitration
I am far too Canadian
I am far too Canadian
Bridge
I am the face of my country
Expressionless and small
Weak at the knees, shaking badly
Can't straighten up at all
I watch the spine of my country
Bend and break
I'm in a sorry state
I am a sorry state
Won’t you welcome to the sorry state
[Solo – Flute – Accordion – Quick step - Celtic round]
Outro
I am the face of my country
Expressionless and small
Weak at the knees, shaken badly
Can’t straighten up at all
Can’t straighten up at all
Straighten up at all
