(Then repeat the intro once instead of twice, then into the 2nd verse, chords as
put the chords down too though because there are so many I can never remember them)
[Am]Watch us bang[C] on shoulders [F]as tall and [Am]as go[G]ld as
[Cm]Feely hand [G#]and fi[D#]nger ar[F#m]ound all we

I praise you [A#/G]anyway [F#]always
(Then into the really long bit. It's the same chord progression over and over, but each
moving up in semitones)
[B]Wipes last[A] [D] [A]with brown and [F]pa[G#]le,[Gm] [C]he dirty [A#]boy[D#] [A#] he gone a[F#]ll [A]st[G#m]ale

[B]Hold his mouth and [A#]stop him breathing [C#]over and [E]out[G#m][C#]
(The outro plays those final three chords over and over, the time signature changes,
just a case of playing it over and over and a pattern starts emerging)
Such an epic tune, hope you enjoy it.
