Chords with lyrics

Intro:
C majorC

Verse 1:
C majorC
The hard Canadian
  FF         G+G
He don't have much to say
         C majorC
But he hurts your feelings
    FF      G+G
Almost every single day
FF       G+G
Takes a puff-a-nothing
C majorC            FF
Picks something from his tongue
      G+G    C majorC
He's the hard Canadian

Verse 2:
     C majorC
The hard Canadian
FF           G+G
Doesn't care what you do
     C majorC
The hard Canadian
   FF         G+G
Don't give a damn about you
FF         G+G
What's a windswept face
      C majorC        FF
The elusive presence of the sun
     G+G     C majorC
To the hard Canadian?

Verse 3:
     C majorC
The hard Canadian
    FF        G+G
Is all darkness in his heart
      C majorC      FF
But for the glow of her nightgown
      G+G
Through the dark
     FF         G+G
Yeah, but then he blurs the image
     C majorC           FF
Drags his brush through the wet pigment
          G+G     C majorC
'Cause he's the hard Canadian

Bridge:
BdimBdim
His berating heart, grown thorny with sin
C7C7
And oh the silences, he don't listen to them
BdimBdim
Whether he's just mean or wilfully dense
C7C7                      A minorAm
He says, "From life nothing; to death nothing"

Verse 4:
     C majorC
The hard Canadian
  FF       G+G
Is what he throws away
        C majorC
And he hurt her feelings
    FF      G+G
Almost every single day
    FF        G+G
Now he takes a shot of nothing
    C majorC        FF
Stares off remembering someone
       G+G    C majorC    FF
That's the hard Canadian
       G+G    A minorAm    FF
That's the hard Canadian
      G+G    C majorC
