on this song, it is often effective to raise the finger that you're barring the B chord with to give it a suspended feel and create an A note in the bass! This song is about 90% style. The chords alone don't cut it! Oh well.....

Welcome To The Occupation ========================= The intro goes like this: E--0-- X=Mute this string B--0-- G--0-- I don't know the name of this chord D--2-- but i'm sure it has one. anybody A--0-- E--X-- Anyways, the intro is this chord, then a Dsus2: E--0-- | B--3-- | G--2-- |--------------> D--0-- A--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-- Em G

^{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. G--4-- D--4-- A--5-- E--X-- Man educated primitive and wild Welcome to the occupation

(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): G D (back to this again)

Disturbance At The Heron House ==============================

The main riff goes something like this:

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
