[Verse 1]
    Bm                 G
The milk from mothers breast
             D              F#m
Gave you the start that was best
             Bm                 G
Food on your face, your hair a mess
        D                    F#m
Flying colours, lifes little tests
              Bm                         G
Confident and strong, sticking out your chest
            D                 F#m
The best to come, the worst a guess

[Pre-chrous]
     Bm        G          D             F#m
Am I livin' a lie? I ask me myself and I
      Bm         G      D                 F#m
Cause everybody knows, courage comes and goes
        Bm    G          D       F#m
Brother hold on for the next supply

[Chorus]
   Bm         G        D   F#m
To thine own self, be true
Bm       G             D     F#m
In this life it's all up to you
    Bm           G     D  F#m
You paddle your own canoe
    Bm           G     D  F#m
You paddle your own canoe
         Bm
Your own canoe!
        G           D       F#m
Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do
         Bm
Your own canoe!
        G           D       F#m
Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do

[Verse 2]

(whole verse single strums)
           Bm                  G
Eddies and kicks, rapids turn six
         D                   F#m
Then you remiss, chances you missed
               Bm               G
Wind hits your sails, start to prevail
         D                        F#m
Suddenly assailed, wind, rain and hail
                  Bm                     G
You just hit your stride, bride by your side
              D             F#m
It’s a smooth ride, systems collide
                     Bm                     G
It’s your first real strife, pretty little life
           D                   F#m
Change overnight, real fuckin' fight
                Bm                    G
Times shuck and jive, odds spike and dive
            D                F#m
Hornets now fully out of the hive
               Bm                         G
This too shall pass, ride it out on your raft
D                             F#m                 Bm   G
You just never know how long these things will last
D           F#m
Last, last, last, last

[Pre-Chorus]
     Bm        G          D             F#m
Am I livin' a lie? I ask me myself and I
      Bm         G      D                 F#m
Cause everybody knows, courage comes and goes
        Bm    G          D       F#m
Brother hold on for the next supply

[Bridge]
Bm             G         D  F#m
I’m not gonna ride with you
Bm              G         D  F#m
Mister I ain't following you
   Bm               G    D          F#m
No matter what you say, promise or do
Bm      G        D    F#m  Bm   G D F#m
Talk until your face is blue

[Chorus]
   Bm         G        D   F#m
To thine own self, be true
Bm       G             D     F#m
In this life it's all up to you
    Bm           G     D  F#m
You paddle your own canoe
    Bm           G     D  F#m
You paddle your own canoe
         Bm
Your own canoe!
        G           D       F#m
Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do
         Bm
Your own canoe!
        G           D       F#m
Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do

[Outro]
    Bm                  G               D            F#m
I'm in the middle of a jungle man, I'm right in the throngs
    Bm               G                D              F#m
All kinds of little animals yelling, telling me I'm wrong (you're wrong)
     Bm             G                      D        F#m
Okay maybe they’re right? Nah, should say sorry to myself
      Bm          G                   D              F#m
Those itty-bitty fucks can’t fuck up my good mental health
    Bm                   G          D             F#m
The winds of change are so strong, man they need names
     Bm          G           D     F#m
Like tornadoes, cyclones and hurricanes
