how
  


              C#m            A        B                 C#m

                   E                   F#           C#m

   and I've got no     right   to take   my     place    with the


    C#m
     Human   race.       then play  A B  G#m  F# G#m   ad nauseum and sing over the

      "and now I know how Joan of Arc felt....." section if you  
wish!!!


                     I hope this is if help.........the chords are
sound, but what I have trouble with is the rythm of the song, It's
difficult to keep smooth, which is why I've posted all the chord
changes.( I haven't got this record so I can't remember exactly how  
it
goes which is my problem).
