       {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 ..strings)
       Hang ..
       Listen ..
       Listen ..

           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

       Listen ..
       Listen ..
       Where ..
       Primitive ..

            - 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)

       Em     G       Em     Dsus2

                    Em  G  Em  Dsus2
       Listen ..

        then the "outro" tagged on the end goes:
              Em  Dsus2  Em (maybe Em7?)

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


       {The main riff goes something like this:}

       (B) --keep a finger on the 3rd fret
       (G) ---2-0-(0)-4-2-2-2-4---0---
       (D) -0-0-0-(0)-0-0-0-0-0-2---0-
       (A) -every other time, play this string open...

       {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?}
