Finest Worksong

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

{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

Em G Em Dsus2

Here we stand and here we fight

All your fallen heroes

Held and died and skinned alive

Listen to the Congress fire

(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)

Em G Em Dsus2

Sugar cane and coffee cup

Copper steel and cattle

An annotated history the forest for the fire

(same as before)

Where we open up the floodgates

Freedom reigns supreme

Fire on the hemisphere below

Em G Em Dsus2

Listen to me

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?}

"Disturbance at the Heron House"

A stampede at the monument

To liberty and honor under the honor roll

The gathering of grunts and greens

Cogs and grunts and hirelings

A meeting of a mean idea to hold

"When feeding time has come and gone

They'll lose the heart and head for home

Try to tell us something we don't know"

King Of Birds

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

Intro : D

D

A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone

A mean idea to call my own

Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young

There's time to teach, point to point

Point observation, children carry reservations

G

Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold

F#m A D

A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly

D

Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song

Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on

G

Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold

F#m A B

A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away

E B E --> D

away... awaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyieeeeeee

(this part sung 'on top of' the 2nd line in the 2nd verse)

There's time to teach point to point

Point observation children carry reservations

D

I am king of all I see my kingdom for a voice

Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young

Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young

There's time to teach, point to point

Point observation, children carry reservations

G

Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold

F#m A D

A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly
