{on this song, it is often effective to raise the finger that you're

The intro goes like this:
E--0-- X=Mute this string
SI--0--G--0-- I don't know the name of this chord
D--2-- but i'm sure it has one. anybody?
LA--0--E--X-- Anyways, the intro is this chord, then
|--------------> D--0--
LA--0--
Then the, verses go:
Em G Em Dsus2 (either strum or pick the 1,2 & 3
Hang your collar up inside strings)
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the water still
Listen to the causeway run (you are?)
note- When going from the Em to the G and back again,
walk the bass notes up (eg. A
and back down too E--0--2--3--
[the "Man educated" part is the 1st chord of the intro (maybe Am7)
[again, followed by this chord, which may not be correct
[and, again, I don't know what it's called:
E--0-- It's sort of like the shape of an augmented
B--3-- chord.
SOL--4--
Man educated primitive and wild
Welcome to the occupation
MIm SOL MIm REsus2
Here we stand and here we fight
All your fallen heroes
Held and died and skinned alive
Listen to the Congress fire
(as above i.e. "Man educated . . .")
Offering the educated primitive and loyal
Welcome to the occupation
Hang your collar up inside
Hang your freedom higher
Listen to the buyer still
Listen to the Congress
Where we propagate confusion
Primitive and wild
Fire on the hemisphere below
- at this point, there is an instrumental break where
you play:
Fmaj7 Em (x2) (I think)
then, coming out of this and into the final verse,
play (rather aggressively):
(back to this again)
MIm SOL MIm REsus2
Sugar cane and coffee cup
Copper steel and cattle
An annotated history the forest for the fire
(same as before)
Where we open up the floodgates
Freedom reigns supreme
Fire on the hemisphere below
Listen to me
then the "outro" tagged on the end goes:
Em Dsus2 Em (maybe Em7?)

{I'm pretty sure that Peter is just picking a Dsus2 chord throughout
the whole verse, but Mills is doing other "stuff" on the bass. I play
the chords Dsus2 and Dsus2/C just to make it interesting. I probably
should pull out McCabe's Guitar Shop and see what they did there, huh?}
