Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I could tell the meaning
of a [G]word like se[A]rene
[D]I got some 'O' Grades
when [G]I was sixt[A]een
[D]I can tell the difference
between [G]margarine and [A]butter
[D]I can say "Saskatchewan"
without [G]starting to [A]stutter
But I can't under[D]stand
why we [G]let someone [D]else rule our [A]land,
cap in [D]hand

[Verse 2]
[D]I could get a broken jaw
from [G]being in a [A]fight
[D]I know it's evening when day[G] turns to nig[A]ht
[D]I can understand
why Stran[G]raer lie so [A]lowly
[D]They could save a lot of points
by [G]signing Hibs' [A]goalie
But I can't under[D]stand
why we [G]let someone [D]else rule our [A]land,
cap in [D]hand

[Bridge 1]
[G]We fig[D]ht whe[A]n they ask us[D]
[G]We boa[D]st the[A]n we cower[D]
[G]We beg[D] for[A] a piec[D]e of
[G]What's already, what's already,
what's already [A]ours

[Interlude 1]
[D][D][G][A]
[D][D][G][A]
[A][D][G][D]
[A][A][D][D]

[Bridge 2]
[G]We fig[D]ht whe[A]n they ask us[D]
[G]We boa[D]st the[A]n we cower[D]
[G]We beg[D] for[A] a piec[D]e of
[G]What's already, what's already,
what's already [A]ours

[Verse 3]
[D]Once I thought I could mak[G]e God a bri[A]be
[D]So I said I was in [G]His lost tri[A]be
[D]Getting handouts can be [G]so frustra[A]ting
[D]"Get in line son, there's fiv[G]e million wai[A]ting"
I can't under[D]stand
why you [G]let someone [D]else rule your [A]land,
cap in [D]hand
No, I [A]can't under[D]stand
why we [G]let someone [D]else rule our [A]land,
cap in [D]hand (cap in [Bm]hand)
Cap in [G]hand (cap in [E]hand)
No, I [A]can't under[D]stand
why we [G]let someone [D]else rule our [A]land,
cap in [D]hand (cap in hand)
Cap in [D]hand (cap in hand)
Cap in [D]hand (cap in hand)
Cap in [D]hand[D][D][D]
