It's Only Divine Right
The New Pornographers
from The Electric Version (2003)
Lyrics from http://www.thenewpornographers.com/

[Note:  there's some lead-stuff going on in the song during
the parts that go from A to C# that is not reflected here.
People with better ears that I have can figure it out.  Send
all corrections to bworlow@yahoo.com.  Enjoy.]

Intro:  C#  F#  x4

C#		   F#
Both eyes drinking cool water,

	A		    G#
Not the first daughter so I can't see 

	   C#			    F#
Why you're wrestling with words at last,

     C#			   F#
A tradition you've long outclassed. 

C#		  F#
Come true for the new martyrs, 

	  A		       G#
With your hair parted like the Red Sea. 

	 C#				F#
You're addressing the world from your bed, 

     C#				A     E
All alone in the crowd like you said. 

     F#		       C#
Come true, it's only divine right.

     F#		       C#
Come true, it's only divine right. 

C#   A   F#  x2

C#		   F#
Here's Leda in her white glory, 

	A		    G#
All her back-story has been wiped clean. 

      C#		 F#
Just another apocryphal mess, 

      C#		     F#
Never promised 'em anything less. 

C#			F#
So come true, these are safe waters 

	A		    G#
For the first daughter, so I can't see 

	   C#				F#
Why you're pushing the pull that you've had, 

     	  C#			A   E
While the rest of the girls go bad. 

      F#	       C#
Come true, it's only divine right. 

     F#		       C#
Come true, it's only divine right.

C#   A   F#  x2

A  C#  x2

C#	  F#
Slip back through the plot 

	B		    G#
For the new shock, seeing us then, 

		 F#	G#
When we were the real people, 

	    F#	  G#
We were the real people.

C#	  F#
Slip back through the plot 

	B		    G#
For the new shock, seeing us then, 

		 F#	G#
When we were the real people, 

	    F#	  G#
We were the real people.

C#  F#  x4

C#		F#
Face down in the old money, 

	A			  G#
Left the crowd wondering what your next move's 

      C#		 F#
Gonna be in the moments ahead, 

	  C#			A   E
While the rest of the girls go bad. 

      F#	       C#
Come true, it's only divine right.

      F#	       C#
Come true, it's only divine right.

C#   A   F#  x2

A  C#  x2

C#	  F#
Slip back through the plot 

	B		    G#
For the new shock, seeing us then, 

		 F#	G#
When we were the real people, 

	    F#	  G#
We were the real people.

C#	  F#
Slip back through the plot 

	B		    G#
For the new shock, seeing us then, 

		 F#	G#
When we were the real people, 

	    F#	  G#
We were the real people.

A   C#  [repeat several times]
