Ok, guys, another great folk punk song carrying a great message, 
and it is also easy to play!
So, here we go: the main chord progression is G E A C 
all to be played as power chords.

-During the chorus the strumming pattern used should be something like
d d   u d u d u u u d  For every chord (u= strum up - d=strum down)

-For the verse, you can play it the way you like it and it will sound good,
as long as you have an acoustic guitar and you play it loud and hard.
But if you want to match the original strumming pattern you'll have to use a 
lot of muting with your left hand:
just keep your hand on the strings without pushing, so that no sound comes
out and the strumming will result in an aggressive percussive sound.
If you play it this way, for chord changes you should strum
the chord you were playing once and then change to the the next one with a little 
muting in between: 
G5 *muted strumming* G5 - E5 *muted strumming* E5 - A5 *muted strumming* A5 - C5
and so on.

All this sounds more complicated than it actually is - it is a simple song - so here we go:


intro: G5 E5 A5 C5 x2
(the second time drums go in)


G5
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree,
E5
I sold you and you sold me,
A5
There lie they and here lie we,
C5
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree.

G5
I look at the administration 
E5
they do everything they can
A5
To make sure that things go their way
C5
it always seems to get to me
G5
Listen to what I've said
E5
at this rate soon we'll all be dead
A5
If things continue on this way
C5
We'll soon be facing judgement day.


-Chorus


G5
They will start wars at their will,
E5
Train the youth to KILL KILL KILL
A5
brainwash the impressionable
C5
All who question's fate is sealed
G5
Big brother is watching you,
E5
Is there nothing we can do?
A5
Be conscious and end their reign,
C5
We no longer play your game.




-Chorus

-little spoken part, in wich you can play the same chords anyway you want


G5
They think all of us are blind,
E5
Any battlefield they'll find
A5                                  C5
Of the earth or on the ground or in the sea or in your mind
G5 *PM*                                                      
and as your good friend Orwell said
E5 *PM*
"don't let yourself their lies be fed,"
A5 *PM*
be well versed and be well learned
C5 *slowly release PM*
and you will never be mislead.

-Chorus x2

-Chorus two last times only with vocals
