-Thanks to the 'H-chord guy' who did the bulk of the work.
-This isn't note-for-note, but it's at least a working solution.
-Maybe at some point I'll get through the bass line and solos,
but don't count on it.

NC *** BB [continuous strumming]
Sometimes when facing common trouble
E minorEm
When whole town is screwed
BB
We become actually human
E minorEm
Act like Prometheus would
A augmentedA
Suddenly there is more humor
G+G
And a party tabor style
BB
People ringing one another
E minorEm [bring in bass, accordian]
"Yo man, how was your blackout?"
BB [guitar rhythm as in 1st half of intro]
Suddenly there is more music
E minorEm
Made with buckets in a park
BB
Girls are dancing with the flashlights
BB
I got only one guitar!
A augmentedA
And you see brothers and sisters
G+G
All engaged in sport of help
BB
Making merry out of nothing
E minorEm
Like in refugee camp

VERSE TWO: [bring in drums]
NC BB
And you think, alright now people
E minorEm
They have finally woked up
BB
But as soon as trouble over
E minorEm
Watch them take another nap
A augmentedA
Now nobody's making merry
G+G
Only trotting scared of boss
BB
Everybody's making hurry
E minorEm
For some old forgotten cause
BB
But one thing surely eternal
E minorEm
It's condition of a man
BB
Who don't know where he is going
E minorEm
Who don't know where does he stand
A augmentedA
Who's dream power is a bottle
G+G
Put away in dry dark place
BB
Who's youth power is well buried
E minorEm
Under propaganda waves
A augmentedA
Who's dream life in opposition
G+G
To the life during the day
BB
Who's beaten down in believing
E minorEm
It just kinda goes this way!
