Born Human

F     C     F C Am  G
C   F C     Am  G   C


[Chorus 1]
             F              C
I don’t know why I was born human
             F    C Am        G
I might have been a fish or a bat
           C              F       
Or the big sycamore in my 
  C
brother’s backyard
              Am       G        C
That spoke to me when I fell on my 
back


[Verse 1]
          C     F    C
We listen to an earthly music
         Am G      C
Conjured up  in ages past
               C              F   
The colour of your skin might 
     C
change tomorrow
              Am      G   
From a snow-white deer to a 
   C
coal-black cat


[Chorus 2]

             F              C
I don’t know why I was born human
             F    C Am    G
I might have been a water rat
           C           F    
Or a thunderstorm that chases 
  C
buffalo
            Am        G       C
Down silver trails of prairie grass
             F              C     
I don’t know why I was born human
   F C Am  G


C   F C     Am  G   C


[Verse 2]
         C          F  C
When you see the earth bleeding
         Am  G              C
Then you know you’re home at last
         C         F    C
When you feel your body broken
            Am  G            C
Then you’ll find the strength to act


[Chorus 3]
           F                 C
I ain’t no alien, I was born native
          F   C   Am     G
I just forgot the sacred past
            C                  
But the big storm is over and I 
 F           C
still got a heartbeat
              Am      G       C
And my breast lullaby sings home at 
last


[Chorus 4]
               F             
Walking on this earth is only 
 C
natural
                F    C   Am       
We were born to roam but not this 
G
fast
              C                    
And my little girl’s dreams should 
      F       C
be as big as heaven
       Am       G          C
Even angels find their home at last
              C                    
And my little girl’s dreams should 
      F       C
be as big as heaven
       Am       G          C
Even angels find their home at last
             F              C     
I don’t know why I was born human
   F C Am  G
