Trembling Peacock Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Destroyer

I don't have the actual recording with me, but this is based on a live version.
It should be about the same. He seems to play pretty true live.

Relax, trembling peacock... 
   D/B                    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... 
Em                                                     A
Vancouver made me, I guess it's true... 
D                                    D/C#
Sired to the House of Lords 
D/B                                           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... 
           Em                                            A
Gods give and gods give our gifts away...

D                                      D/C#
Settle down, trembling peacock... 
D/B                                 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... 
Em                                                 A
I guess the rest of you already knew... 
D                                   D/C#
Sired to the House of Lords
D/B                                       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, 
                                        Em
and wars are won from a foxhole...

Interlude with solo (again)

The inner world of a dove is complex, I'm telling you... 
G                             D
Lovers of the air, beware... 
D                             D/C#
But for us it's real simple... 
D/B  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...
