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

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,
F C
With a speech on monarchy,
In Canada, our old country,
G C
Our new system’s seeds were planted.
C
’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.
C
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.
C
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.
C
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.
C
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.
C
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.
C
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.
C
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.
C
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?
C
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.
C
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.
C
His views seem often homophobic,
F C
Environment-Al-Gore-phobic,
Silenced all the scientific,
G C
When they were greenhouse candid.
C
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.
C
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.
C
Harperville, Oh Harperville,
F C
Please do come to Harperville,
It’s only terrorists we kill,
G C
Here in pleasant Harperville.
