[Verse]
E
Rolling hills all covered in suede
   D     A            E
I'm heat nervous and out of road
E
Downtown there's a parade
D      A           E
But I don't think I want to go
E
Smart as trees in Sault Saint Marie
 D   A       E
I can speak my mother tongue
E
Passing laws, just because
    D        A                E
And singing songs Of the English unsung

[Chorus]
    D         E
Well, how could you do it?
    D            E
Well, how could you even try?
             D           E
When you were born in the water
             D                    E
And you were raised up in the sky?

[Verse]
E
Front seat stamped by the window
 D       A      E
No erasees in this game
E
Arbitrary as the wind blows
   D         A     E
It's another way to lay claim
E
Ain't no cause for bloodthirsting
 D   A      E
In a little town so dry
E
Where the angels dance on a pinhead
D           A         E
Just to make room for you and I

[Chorus]
      D        E
Well, how could you do it?
      D            E
Well, how could you even try?
              D          E
When you were born in the water
             D                  B   D   E
And you were raised up in the sky?

[Solo]
play- D B D E D B D E

[Verse]
E
Thoroughbred with their great big heads
   D     A         E
Think a mile might be too far
E
Highway horses laugh but of course
D             A                E
When they don't know where the hell they are
E
Well, smart as trees in Sault Saint Marie
D           E
Victorious mother tounge
E
Passing laws just because
    D       A           E
And singing songs of the English unsung

[Chorus]
      D        E
Well, how could you do it?
      D             E
Well, how could you even try?
             D            E
When you were born in the water
             D
And you were raised up
      D        E
Well, how could you do it?
       D            E
Well, how could you even try?
              D            E
When you were born in the water
             D                 E
And you were raised up in the sky?
Enjoy!
