Chord progression goes like this throughout the entire song
A Bmin D A
v v v v v v v ^ v v v v ^
The rhythm goes like this: 4 8 8 4 8 8 8 8 8 4 8 8 8 This is a little crude
but listen to the song to get the exact rhythm. There's a little more
swing to it than how I wrote it. The apostrophe represents a dotted note
(in this case, a dotted quarter note).

The first A is like this: 5-- the second A is: o--
5-- 3--
-6- 3--
--7 3--
x x
x x
The Bmin is: 2-- the D is: 2--
-3- -3-
--4 2--
--4 --4
x x
x x

The progression is easy to play if you treat them all as bar chords.
Just leave your forefinger on the second fret over strings 1,2,3,and 4
except for the second A where you have to slightly raise your finger so that
the E string is open. Slide down from the first A to the Bmin.

[Verse 1]
[A] 25 years...
[Bmin] Tryin' ...
[D] Hope...destination. [A]
[A] I realized...
[Bmin] That the...
[D] Man...means. [A]
{Rest of the song's chord progression is the same thing}

[Chorus]


[Verse 2]
[A] And I...
[Bmin] I...the [D] time...institution. [A]
[A] And I pray...
[Bmin] I pray... single [D] day....revolution. [A]

[Chorus and last four lines of the chorus are repeated 2x more]

[Verse 3]

If anyone sees any mistakes in here, please feel free to post corrections
(I'd like to know them myself).
