Verse 1:
C5Searching for the bF5est break 
C5The black forties could G5afford them
C5Came these ever-proud wF5orld-renowned 
F5Rowdy, rC5oving G5men
C5With a firmness and a F5purpose 
C5That so many did disG5miss
C5Sailed these huddled human F5ballasts on their 
F5stinking cC5offin G5ships
Chorus:
F5From the prison of their lG5onely hearts 
F5They labored long and hG5ard
F5               G5          (start playing intro)
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C.
Verse 2:  play like verse 1
Intelligent, repectable 
But made of modest means 
With an independent spirit, 
So full of hopes and dreams
Opportunity denied them in a 
Doomed and starving land
Came these openhearted kindly spirits 
Of a truly threatened man
Chorus:  play like other chorus
From the prison of their lonely hearts
They labored long and hard
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C.
Verse 3:  mostly just bass, but the guitar plays in the spots where I put he chords
Searching for the best break 
The black forties could afford them
Came these ever-proud world-renowned 
F5Rowdy, rC5oving G5men
With a firmness and a purpose 
That so many did dismiss
Sailed these C5huddled human ballasts on their 
F5stinking cC5offin sG5hips
Chorus:  play like other choruses
From the prison of their lonely hearts
They labored long and hard
Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C
The B.A.C.
The B.A.C.

That's it.  There is actally a line after "They labored long and hard" but I
couldn't hear what they were saying in the song and all the lyrics that I found
didn't have it.  Anyway, if you figure it out let me know.  Later.
