Far Too Canadian
by Spirit of the West (Geoff Kelly, John Mann)

I'm so content, to stand in line

Wait and see, pass the time

Talk a streak, fall asleep

Wake up late, whine and weep

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

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:

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 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


I am a sorry state

Won't you welcome to the sorry stateà

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.
