After which the first Em readily comes.
There was a man from Muddlebro', whose problems he laid down
(Em) G D Em
Upon another's doorstep, in a distant stranger's town
Em D
But forgeting what he'd come for, and in patronizing tones
Em G D Em
He gave them all his clothes and bread, to stop their moans and groans

Midverse chords under guitar solo:

then repeat intro.
Verses 2 & 3 as first with same chords inbetween:
"It's not your fault where you were born", he said, all condescending,
"We cannot all be made like me, with lots of true-blue blending",
"But never-mind, i'll pass the hat around our gracious nation"
The strangers held their laughter back, remembering their station...
Back home in the Heads of State the people's memory woke
And yet their yapping didn't stop, whoever rose and spoke
But in the fields potatoes flowered, and gulls came with high tides
And men came back from cutting wood, and gathered by firesides.
The outro is part I of the intro, with an Em (sometimes two) in it's end.
