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

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