This is tuned up one half-tone from the key used in the original song, I just found it 
easier to play! The verses are all rap, and are pretty much just the same chords the whole 
time. Enjoy, and share some Canadian pride!!
****************************************************************************
EmYeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Even if in winter things tend to freeze
We've got the world monopoly on trees
And our country's bordered by three different seas
EmYeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
We invented the zipper, we've got expertise
We made insulin to combat disease
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
CHORUS
EmBrits have got the monarchy
GThe US has the money
CBut I know that you wanna be CaAmnadiaB7n
EmThe French have got the wine and cheese
GKoalas chill with the Aussies
CBut I know that you wanna be CAmanadiB7an
EmEt si ce n'etait pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L'anglais et le francais
Ooh la la
EmYeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Where else do you find mounted police
Or go to the hospital and not pay fees
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
EmAnd when freshwater is in high demand
We've got the world's largest supply on hand
So you know that we could make a pretty good friend
But it's even better if you can be...
CHORUS
EmSo you're thinking to yourself,
"How do I live in this beautiful country?"
Well we've got some steps for you to follow...
EmSTEP 1: Lose the gun
STEP 2: Buy a canoe
STEP 3: Live multiculturally
STEP 4: You're ready, there is no more!
EmWe got beavers, cariboo and moose
We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose
And we're sorry about Celine Dion
But she did do that good song for James Cameron...
CHORUS
EmBrits have got the monarchy
GThe US has the money
CBut I know that you wanna be AmCanadiB7an
EmThe French have got the wine and cheese
GKoalas chill with the Aussies
CBut I know that you wanna be AmCanadiB7an
EmThe Greek chilled out with Socrates
GCan't build a wall like the Chinese
CBut I know that you wanna be AmCanadiB7an
EmIn Kenya they have safaris
GWe've missed lots of other countries
CBut I know that you wanna be AmCanadiB7an
