    ===============


    {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

    Em   G   Em     Dsus2

    (as above i.e. "Man educated . . .")

      - 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

    (same as before)

    Where ..
    Freedom ..
    Fire ..

          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?}
