some hands work), so it would be like this:
Bm ... A
e --|-7------|-5----7-7-5---7-7-5--|
b --|-7------|-5----7-7-5---7-7-5--|
g --|-7------|-6-------------------|
d --|-9------|-7-------------------|
a --|-9------|-7-------------------|
e --|-7------|-5-------------------|
The song goes like this:
The end is a bit obscure to me. I am not very sure about all the chords, this
is only general and there may be some maj7 or sus4 everywhere, I never had time
to check it.
Have fun (with such a song')

BmAll men are born equal at the Amoment they arrive...
BmCheck the limbs and senses weA require to survive.
But some come Gdeaf and dumb and blinded,
some have F#mdamage to their brains:
parents Gconstantly reminded
that they'll F#mnever play the normal children's Emgames.
They may not be normal,
but they're people Bmjust the same.
If Christ had been born defective to fulfil the Father's plan
would he be as easily accepted as God made man
or does the human value alter
in the crippled human frame'
Though the tongue and fingers falter
must we shut them out and shut them up,
and shut the case and whisper 'such a shame...'
That's how we shut them away.
The same goes for the rest of the song
Repeat the sequence - instrumental only
Most of us are lucky, free from accidents at birth but their victims share our right to the inheritance of earth. For all their grunts, their stumps, their tumours, their eternal wheelchairs, we're the freaks, we're the inhumans, if we close our eyes and turn aside, pretend that if we do they'll not be there.... They've got to face it, so we've got to face it. Still they've got to live with it in a worlds we supposedly share.
