Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I wasn't [C]born [F]a f[Fm]isher[C]man
And I wasn't [F]born [C]a schoolgirl
And I wasn't [F]born [C]a tree of leaves
And I wasn't [F]born [Fm]o lo[C]rdy lord
Cause I was a [Dm]bold and
[F]tireless [G]worker

[Verse 2]
[C]
And I wasn't [F]born [C]an [G]Indian[C]
And I wasn't born [G]Arabian
And I [C]wasn't born [G]a man with
[C]a dream to j[F]ust let it f[G]alter

[Verse 3]
[G]And I was[C]n't born o! a welldigger
And I wasn't born o! a fleshy thing
And I wasn't born a thing to be scorned,
a [Fm]thing to be [F]ig nored
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
And I will [G]align myself with [Dm]nothing
And I will en[G]join my heart
with no- [C]one's
[Fm]Cause I was untr[G]ied when
[C]I was a[G]pplied
The light of birth

[Verse 5]
And I wasn't [C]born o! to tell the truth
And I wasn't born o!
to sleep with Ruth
We're [F]miles [C]apart and I have no heart
for weeks between [G]coupling

[Verse 6]
[G]
Well, I could bide [C]my time with
girls that live in town
Those who seem always to
be hanging [G]around
But it would not [C]seem [G]right to pass the
[C]night with [F]one [Fm]not my [G]true love

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
And I will [C]align [G]myself with nothing
And [Dm]I will enjoi[G]n my
heart with no- one's
[F]Cause I was[Fm] un t[F]ri[G]ed when
[F]I was app[G]lied

[Outro 1]
The light of birth
[F][G][F][G]
