Tips:

-At the end of verse 3 - you want to only play the 4 central strings of D, and the 4 
of F - and palm muting them between strums works well.

-For the last bit, use your thumb for the notes on the low E or you've got no chance!

Verse 2:

Chords: As verse 1

I fought to keep from crying as I lay upon the floor
And everyone I knew right then pressed me to the floor
I tried to keep on breathing but the people would not give
And all the evil in the world the people would not give
Is this me for life?

Verse 3:

            F               D
And if you left it up to me they'd all go in the sea
            C
with the guns and the disease and the industry of weasels
            D                         F
Saying: sell to them the killing gem, attack to get it back
