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