Verse 2:
Basically, the same structure of the first verse, but the order of the chords is
flipped. Each line below = 1 bar
Em I kicked Em7around with
CHarry who lived near B/CSalisbury Plain
F He worked on the cathedral there
Cevery now and aB/Cgain he worked with
Gstone, Dcarved with stone
Em Odd jobs on the telepEm7hone
F One sunny day he was sent to the
CHouses of B/CParliament
Em chippin' away at Em7gargoyles
CUnder the B/Cblistering sun
FHe carved out "Maggie Sucks" on the
Cbacks of every B/Cone
GAnd so in five-hDundred years
EmThere's gonna be some hisEm7tory here
FAfter it all subsides in the Csun
Chorus:
Play the riff on the C chord from the end of the first verse 4X, and over the last
two times through, sing:
And it's fallin' away
Verse:
This one is the same chord changes from the first verse.
G Another day,D another loon
Em A new pied piper cEm7alls the
FTune so blow it up, watch it explode
CNoah's ark on B/Coverload
EmWrestle with the resEm7ults and
Cthrow 'em round the B/Cring
FEverybody knows there
Cain't no rules in B/Cwrestling
G The Dreferee's a dupe
Em Who only old ladieEm7s and children be-
F-lieve,
CI'm getting B/Cup now to leave
EmI'll go back to that street soEm7meday
C The air's better there B/Canyway
FThough the trees are still gonna freeze in the Csun
Chorus/Outro:
Use the Riff from the first chorus, but on F where noted.
And it's fallin' away
And I don't wanna Fknow
I'm glad I don't Cknow
What's Gdraggin' it Dun Emder
