The very opening and very end of the song have an additional lick while on the C Chord that goes as follows:
|---0-0-----0-0---0-0-----0-0---------------0-0-----0-0-|

And occasionally a second guitar comes in and plays a few basic notes at the end of each vocal line:

C‘twas in ’06 of February,
FWith a speech on Cmonarchy,
In Canada, our old country,
Our Gnew system’s seeds were Cplanted.
C’07 turned into ’08,
FElection time, the Cturn out rate,
The lowest ever, to that date,
Yet his Grule was not supCplanted.
CAnd so it was in 2010,
They aFccused poor Harps of Cwar crimes then,
Our guests of war, those Afghan friends,
Weren’t eGntirely encChanted.
CTime marched on to 2012,
His “FCode of Silence” dCeath grip held,
Press conference more show than tell,
The GCAJ couldn’t Cstand it.
CNow here we are C-51,
Our Fprivacy could Cbe undone,
It’d sure be fun for everyone,
If our Gbasic rights weren’t Cgranted.
CSurveillance and secret police,
They’ll Fspy on us to Ckeep the peace,
And with less accountability,
Oh, Ghow I hope they Cpass it.
CIf at the pipeline, you shake your fist,
They’ll Fbook you as a Cterrorist,
C-51 allows for this,
That’s Gwhy I’m so emCphatic.
CCriminals are liabilities,
Life Fsentence should mean Clife, you see,
They’ll rot in jail and won’t go free,
And Gdisappear like Cmagic.
CSo we’ll only ever do good deeds,
When the Fcorrectional fCacilities,
Are all permanent infirmaries,
Let’s Ghope that is eCnacted.
CAlthough it sounds like science fiction,
Our Fnation put in Cthis position,
It’s as purposeful as my diction,
GDo you underCstand it?
CSo if Harper loves his monarchy,
FWhen he dies his Cson can lead,
A shut down of democracy,
Our GNative Land re-Cbranded.
CSo in 2020 Harperville,
FOf the leader, Cdon’t speak ill,
This police state, it surely will,
GSee you as a Cbandit.
CHis views seem often homophobic,
EnFvironment-CAl-Gore-phobic,
Silenced all the scientific,
When Gthey were greenhouse Ccandid.
CSo yes they’ll tap your telephones,
But you’ll Fpay for it iCf you moan,
His sticks and stones can break your bones,
Your Gfree speech will be rCetracted.
CHarperville, Oh Harperville,
FWon’t you come to CHarperville,
But if C-51 it ain’t your bill,
Then Gmove on further ‘Cround the hill.
CHarperville, Oh Harperville,
FPlease do come to CHarperville,
It’s only terrorists we kill,
GHere in pleasant CHarperville.

‘twas in ’06 of February,

F C

With a speech on monarchy,

In Canada, our old country,

G C

Our new system’s seeds were planted.

’07 turned into ’08,

F C

Election time, the turn out rate,

The lowest ever, to that date,

G C

Yet his rule was not supplanted.

And so it was in 2010,

F C

They accused poor Harps of war crimes then,

Our guests of war, those Afghan friends,

G C

Weren’t entirely enchanted.

Time marched on to 2012,

F C

His “Code of Silence” death grip held,

Press conference more show than tell,

G C

The CAJ couldn’t stand it.

Now here we are C-51,

F C

Our privacy could be undone,

It’d sure be fun for everyone,

G C

If our basic rights weren’t granted.

Surveillance and secret police,

F C

They’ll spy on us to keep the peace,

And with less accountability,

G C

Oh, how I hope they pass it.

If at the pipeline, you shake your fist,

F C

They’ll book you as a terrorist,

C-51 allows for this,

G C

That’s why I’m so emphatic.

Criminals are liabilities,

F C

Life sentence should mean life, you see,

They’ll rot in jail and won’t go free,

G C

And disappear like magic.

So we’ll only ever do good deeds,

F C

When the correctional facilities,

Are all permanent infirmaries,

G C

Let’s hope that is enacted.

Although it sounds like science fiction,

F C

Our nation put in this position,

It’s as purposeful as my diction,

G C

Do you understand it?

So if Harper loves his monarchy,

F C

When he dies his son can lead,

A shut down of democracy,

G C

Our Native Land re-branded.

So in 2020 Harperville,

F C

Of the leader, don’t speak ill,

This police state, it surely will,

G C

See you as a bandit.

His views seem often homophobic,

F C

Environment-Al-Gore-phobic,

Silenced all the scientific,

G C

When they were greenhouse candid.

So yes they’ll tap your telephones,

F C

But you’ll pay for it if you moan,

His sticks and stones can break your bones,

G C

Your free speech will be retracted.

Harperville, Oh Harperville,

F C

Won’t you come to Harperville,

But if C-51 it ain’t your bill,

G C

Then move on further ‘round the hill.

Harperville, Oh Harperville,

F C

Please do come to Harperville,

It’s only terrorists we kill,

G C

Here in pleasant Harperville.
