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

Settle down, trembling peacock...
C#/A# C#/G#
No, I wasn't sent to rock you...
F# C#
Oh, I just kind of came...
F# C#
And then I withdrew and then, well...
D#m G#
I guess the rest of you already knew...
C# C#/C
Sired to the House of Lords
C#/A# C#/G#
on the day they declared it bankrupt and
F# C# F# C#
now conquered lands pay tribute to the shifts of your skirt,
F# C#
children at play get hurt,
D#m
and wars are won from a foxhole...
Interlude with solo (again)
And! intermittent babababababa's
C# C#/C C#/A# C#/G#
The inner world of a dove is complex, I'm telling you...
F# C#
Lovers of the air, beware...
C# C#/C
But for us it's real simple...
C#/A# C#/G# F# C#
Look - shot through with arrows,
F# C#
a chest full of sparrows,
F# C#
gonna show you the way to my heart...
