Verse 2:

Basically, the same structure of the first verse, but the order of the chords is 
flipped. Each line below = 1 bar

Em (022000@1)          Em7         
        I kicked around with

C (x32010@1)                  B/C (134442@1)           
   Harry who lived near Salisbury Plain

F (133211@1)    He worked on the cathedral there

C (x32010@1)            B/C (134442@1)  every now and again he worked with

G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)  stone,        carved with stone

Em (022000@1)                   Em7
     Odd jobs on the telephone

F (133211@1)                              
    One sunny day he was sent to the

C (x32010@1)       B/C (134442@1)  Houses of Parliament

Em (022000@1)               Em7  
     chippin' away at gargoyles

C (x32010@1)       B/C (134442@1)  Under the blistering sun

F (133211@1)                                 
   He carved out "Maggie Sucks" on the

C (x32010@1)            B/C (134442@1)  backs of every one

G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)  And so in five-hundred years

Em (022000@1)                     Em7 
   There's gonna be some history here

F (133211@1)                          C (x32010@1)  After it all subsides in the sun

two times through, sing:

And it's fallin' away

Verse:

This one is the same chord changes from the first verse.

G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)    Another day, another loon

Em (022000@1)               Em7 
    A new pied piper calls the

F (133211@1)  Tune so blow it up, watch it explode

C (x32010@1)           B/C (134442@1)  Noah's ark on overload

Em (022000@1)                Em7
   Wrestle with the results and

C (x32010@1)                 B/C (134442@1)  throw 'em round the ring

F (133211@1)  Everybody knows there

C (x32010@1)               B/C (134442@1)  ain't no rules in wrestling

F (133211@1)      
   -lieve,

C (x32010@1)         B/C (134442@1)  I'm getting up now to leave

Em (022000@1)                          Em7
   I'll go back to that street someday

C (x32010@1)                     B/C (134442@1)   The air's better there anyway

F (133211@1)                                            C (x32010@1)
   Though the trees are still gonna freeze in the sun

Chorus/Outro:

Use the Riff from the first chorus, but on F where noted.

And it's fallin' away

F (133211@1)  And I don't wanna know

C (x32010@1)  I'm glad I don't know
