[Intro]
C#  C#  F#  C#  F# C#
[Verse]
C#On this cold little parcel of land where our father's fathers lived
The F#same old trees scraping C#innocent knees since our grandparents were kids
C#You were born in a terrible storm and your ma said it's a sign
You're F#never at peace with your C#bed facing east and your itchy feet like mine
[Chorus]
We shG#mould change our names and F#go for guts and C#glory
Never G#mcut our hair or F#give a care if we're C#right
'Cause they've Bgot us by the F#throat, they've got us on a C#tight-rope
You can Btell your furious father he can F#have my guts for garters if he C#likes (Uh oh!)
[Bridge]
 C#,  C#,  F#,  C#,  F#, C#  
[Verse]
C#Some need like the trunk of a tree to accumulate alone
And F#in time grow C#ripe on the vine and I think we might belong
C#On this cold little parcel of land where our father's fathers lived
We F#scrape our knees climbing C#innocent trees like our father's fathers did
[Chorus]
We shG#mould change our names and F#go for guts and gC#lory
Never G#mcut our hair or F#give a care if we're C#right
'Cause they've Bgot us by the F#throat, the've got us on a C#tight-rope
You can Btell your furious father he can F#have my guts for garters if he C#likes
You can Btell your furious father he can F#have my guts for garters if he C#likes
