INTRO:
Play A* 4 times
VERSE 1:
Don't pD5ity this poor immigrant
                                   D5  A*
My eyes were open when I caught the boat
All I wD5anted was your shelter, and mD5aybe just a little hope
                                       Bm  D5(2)
But you turned your anger on me for the courage that you lack
I don't wAant your half-assed freedom
You can hE5ave the whole deal back
Now lBmet me tell you something
           D5(2)                  E5  
Let's get this straight from the start
               A*
Don't call me harp, don't call me harp
VERSE 2:(same chords)
You said "Bring me your poor and destitute
And I can kick them when they're down"
Cause there's always enough misery
And we'll be sure to share it round
Now I'll turn my anger on you for the decency you lack
For the morals you fail to uphold, your cocaine, crack and smack
To the land that wears it's heart up front
I'm screaming from the back
Don't call me harp, don't call me harp
VERSE 3:(and again)
And the ghetto's almost full now
It's time the trash was moved uptown
And the sight of all those beggers on the streets
Must really get you down
Soon they'll turn their anger on you for the promises you broke
For all the lies you told them as their dreams went up in smoke
And I feel I stand among them as I shout this from the heart
Don't call me harp, don't call me harp
BRIDGE:
                                 E5  D5(2)
You built your land on principles decent, brave and true
                                 Bm  D5(2)               E5  
I find it hard to understand just what went wrong with you
               A*
Don't call me harp, don't call me harp
_________________________________________________________________________
Then there's a solo on the electric guitar where the acoustic just continually plays A*.
that repeat the first verse to the outro which, again, just repeats A*.
