[ EmEmD EmG D EmG D EmG D EmEm Em..............]


After which the first Em readily comes. 


There was a man from Muddlebro', whose problems he laid 
down
(Em) G D Em
Upon another's doorstep, in a distant stranger's town
Em D
But forgeting what he'd come for, and in patronizing 
tones
Em G D Em
He gave them all his clothes and bread, to stop their 
moans and groans
Em C C Em


Midverse chords under guitar solo: 


G D Em C-C/B-Am G-G/F#-Em Em G D D


then repeat intro. 

Verses 2 & 3 as first with same chords inbetween: 


"It's not your fault where you were born", he said, all 
condescending,
"We cannot all be made like me, with lots of true-blue 
blending",
"But never-mind, i'll pass the hat around our gracious 
nation"
The strangers held their laughter back, remembering 
their station...

Back home in the Heads of State the people's memory 
woke
And yet their yapping didn't stop, whoever rose and 
spoke
But in the fields potatoes flowered, and gulls came 
with high tides
And men came back from cutting wood, and gathered by 
firesides.


The outro is part I of the intro, with an Em (sometimes 
two) in it's end.
