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

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

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

[Bridge]
Bdim
His berating heart, grown thorny with sin
C7
And oh the silences, he don't listen to them
Bdim
Whether he's just mean or wilfully dense
C7                                           Am
He says, "From life nothing; to death nothing"

[Verse 4]
         C
The hard Canadian
   F              G
Is what he throws away
                C
And he hurt her feelings
       F            G
Almost every single day
       F               G
Now he takes a shot of nothing
       C               F
Stares off remembering someone
              G        C        F
That's the hard Canadian
              G        Am       F
That's the hard Canadian
            G        C
He's the hard Canadian
