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

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

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