Relax, trembling peacock...
D#/C D#/A#
No, I wasn't born to rock...
G# D#
Oh, I was just plain born...
G# D#
And then I kind of grew and then, well...
Fm A#
Vancouver made me, I guess it's true...
D# D#/D
Sired to the House of Lords
D#/C D#/A#
(these days they call them 'Co-Op Boards'),
G# D#
and now it's in my royal blood
G# D#
to vote and vote and vote and vote
G# D#
on things that never change...
Fm A#
Gods give and gods give our gifts away...

Settle down, trembling peacock...
D#/C D#/A#
No, I wasn't sent to rock you...
G# D#
Oh, I just kind of came...
G# D#
And then I withdrew and then, well...
Fm A#
I guess the rest of you already knew...
D# D#/D
Sired to the House of Lords
D#/C D#/A#
on the day they declared it bankrupt and
G# D# G# D#
now conquered lands pay tribute to the shifts of your skirt,
G# D#
children at play get hurt,
Fm
and wars are won from a foxhole...
Interlude with solo (again)
And! intermittent babababababa's

The inner world of a dove is complex, I'm telling you...
G# D#
Lovers of the air, beware...
D# D#/D
But for us it's real simple...
D#/C D#/A# G# D#
Look - shot through with arrows,
G# D#
a chest full of sparrows,
G# D#
gonna show you the way to my heart...
