[D] I could tell the meaning of a [G]word like se[A]rene,
[D] [G] [A]
I got some `O' grades when I was sixteen,----
[D] I can tell the difference 'tween [G]margarine and [A]butter,
[D] I can say "Saskatchawen" without [G]starting to [A]stutter.
But I [A]can't under[D]stand why we [G]let someone else[D] rule our [A]land,
NC D
we're cap in hand.
[D] I could get a broken jaw from [G]being in a [A]fight,
[D] I know it's evening when [G]day turns to [A]night,
[D] I can understand why Stran[G]raer lie so [A]lowly,
[D] They could save a lot of points by [G]signing Hib's [A]goalie.
But I [A]can't under[D]stand why we [G]let someone else[D] rule our[A] land,
NC D
we're cap in hand.
[G] We [D]fight [A] when they [D]ask us,
[G] We [D]boast [A] then we [D]cower,
[G] We [D]beg [A] for a [D]piece of
[G] What's already, what's already, what's already, [A]ours.

[D] Once I thought I could [G]make God a [A]bribe,
[D] So I said I was [G]in His lost [A]tribe,
[D] Getting handouts can [G]be so frus[A]trating,
[D] "Get in line son, there's [G]five million [A]waiting".
But I can't under[D]stand why you [G]let someone else[D] rule your [A]land
NC D
You're cap in hand.
No, I [A]can't under[D]stand why we [G]let someone else[D] rule our [A]land,
NC D Bm G E7
We're cap in hand, cap in hand, cap in hand, cap in hand,
No, I [A]can't under[D]stand why we [G]let someone else[D] rule our [A]land,
NC D
We're cap in hand .... (listen to the record for the way they finish it)
