Citizen of the Planet Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I start up in the north,
I grow from special seed
I sprinkle it with sensibility
[Bb]From [C]French and
Hun[C]garian snow
I linger in the sprouting until
[Fm]my e[Bb]ngine's fu[C]ll

[Verse 2]
Then [C]I move across the sea
To European bliss
To language of poets
As I cut the cord of home
I kiss my mother's mother
Look to the horizon

[Verse 3]
[C]Wide-eyed, new new ground
Humbled by my [Fm]new [C]surroundings

[Verse 4]
[C]
I am a citizen of the [C]planet
My president is kwan yin
My fron[C]tier is on an [Bb]air p[C]lane
My prisons, homes for rehabilit[G]ating
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[Bb]
[C]Then

[Verse 5]
I fly back to my nest
I fly back with my nuclear but
[Fm]everything [C]is different
So I wait, my yearn for home
is broadened
Patriotism expanded by
[Fm]callings [C]from beyond
So I pack my things nothing precious,
[Fm]all [C]things sacred

[Verse 6]
[C]
I am a citizen of the [C]planet
My laws are all of at[Bb]traction
My punish[C]ments are
con[C]sequences
Sep[Bb]arati[C]ng from source, the original s[G]in

[Verse 7]
I am [C]a citizen of the planet
Democracy's kids are sover[Bb]eign
Where the [C]teachers
are [Bb]the sages
And [C]pedestals fill with every parent
[G]And so,

[Verse 8]
[C]the next few years are blurry
The next decade's a flurry of smells
and tastes unknown
Threads sewn straight
through this fabric
Through fields of every color

[Verse 9]
one culture to another
[C]
And I come alive and I get giddy
And [Fm]I am tak[C]en and
globally naturalized
I am a citizen of the planet
From [Bb]simple [C]roots through high [Bb]vis ion
I am [C]guarded by the an[Bb]gels
And my [C]body guides the [Bb]direction I go [G]in

[Verse 10]
I am a [C]citizen of the planet
[C]My favorite pastime edge stretching[Bb]
[C]Be sotten with human condi[Bb]tion
These [C]ideals are borne from my deepest with[G]in

[Outro 1]
