[Verse]
E
Rolling hills all covered in suede
D A E
I'm heat nervous and out of road
E
Downtown there's a parade
D A E
But I don't think I want to go
E
Smart as trees in Sault Saint Marie
D A E
I can speak my mother tongue
E
Passing laws, just because
D A E
And singing songs Of the English unsung
[Chorus]
D E
Well, how could you do it?
D E
Well, how could you even try?
D E
When you were born in the water
D E
And you were raised up in the sky?
[Verse]
E
Front seat stamped by the window
D A E
No erasees in this game
E
Arbitrary as the wind blows
D A E
It's another way to lay claim
E
Ain't no cause for bloodthirsting
D A E
In a little town so dry
E
Where the angels dance on a pinhead
D A E
Just to make room for you and I
[Chorus]
D E
Well, how could you do it?
D E
Well, how could you even try?
D E
When you were born in the water
D B D E
And you were raised up in the sky?
[Solo]
play- D B D E D B D E
[Verse]
E
Thoroughbred with their great big heads
D A E
Think a mile might be too far
E
Highway horses laugh but of course
D A E
When they don't know where the hell they are
E
Well, smart as trees in Sault Saint Marie
D E
Victorious mother tounge
E
Passing laws just because
D A E
And singing songs of the English unsung
[Chorus]
D E
Well, how could you do it?
D E
Well, how could you even try?
D E
When you were born in the water
D
And you were raised up
D E
Well, how could you do it?
D E
Well, how could you even try?
D E
When you were born in the water
D E
And you were raised up in the sky?
Enjoy!
