    Misc

Another gem of a song which I couldn't find any chords for online. It's pretty 
simple, but you should listen to the song first to work out the strumming.

Capo 2

A (x02220@1)

    E (022100@1)                            A (x02220@1)                A7For (x02020@1)justice and politeness are the laws which he will bring,
          D (xx0232@1)                      AWhere (x02220@1)the order of the crown is to frown upon the frown.
      B (x2444x@1)                           E7We've (020130@1)done a constitution and we've even wrote it down...
             D (xx0232@1)                           AAlthough (x02220@1)the nation may be small it's the nicest of them all,
  E (022100@1)                       A (x02220@1)                 A7A (x02020@1)land of opportunity where crime's against the law.
      D (xx0232@1)                             AEv'ry (x02220@1)subject do your part, with your hand upon your heart,
  B (x2444x@1)          E7 (020130@1)         A (x02220@1)    D7A (xx0212@1)Kingdom-come-democracy to start.
