This is solely my own interpretation. I sat down at the piano, played along
with the album and figured out all the chords and then translated them to a
guitar format.
3/4 time in key of (you're gunna love this!) 
E MajorE aeolian, then 
A augmentedA dorian, then
F#F# locrian (all part of the key of

manifestly endangered, the people may, and of right ought to reform
the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance
against arbitrary power and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and
destructive of the good and happiness of mankind."
