Verse 2:
Basically, the same structure of the first verse, but the order of the chords is
flipped. Each line below = 1 bar

One sunny day he was sent to the

He carved out “Maggie Sucks” on the
C B/C
backs of every one

And so in five-hundred years
Em Em7
There’s gonna be some history here
F C
After it all subsides in the sun
Chorus:
Play the riff on the C chord from the end of the first verse 4X, and over the last
two times through, sing:

G D

Em Em7
A new pied piper calls the

Everybody knows there

G D
The referee’s a dupe
Em Em7
Who only old ladies and children be-

I’ll go back to that street someday
C B/C
The air’s better there anyway
F C
Though the trees are still gonna freeze in the sun
