Far Too Canadian Spirit of the West

Transcribed: Jen Mikita
[D]Iā??m so con[F#m]tent[G], to stand in [A]line
[D]Wait and s[F#m]ee, p[G]ass the tim[A]e
[D]Talk a str[F#m]eak, f[G]all as[A]leep
[D]Wake up l[F#m]ate, wh[G]ine and w[A]eep
I kiss the hand[Bm] that slaps me senseless
[A]Iā??m so accepting, I [Bm]am so def[A]enseless
[Dm]I am far[Am] too Can[Dm]adian, I am far[Am] too Cana[Dm]dian
I pick the bones of whatā??s been done and I
Lick them clean with a cautious tongue
In dim-lit rooms, I spill my guts
Iā??m the revolution when the doors are shut
Iā??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:
[D]I am the f[G]ace of my co[A]untry
[F#m]Expressionless and sm[Bm]all
[D]Weak at the kn[G]ees, shaking ba[A]dly
[F#m]Canā??t straighten up at [Bm]all
I watch the sp[G]ine of my c[A]ountry b[F#m]end and b[Bm]reak
[G]Iā??m in a [A]sorry [D]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
[G]I am a so[A]rry s[D]tate
Wonā??t you[G] welcome to the[A] sorry [D]stateā?¦
Just a note: most of the F#mā??s can also be played as F#m 7th, if you
prefer. This sounds most authentic on an acoustic.
