  This is the chords to 51st State of America from
the briliant White Coats EP and various other recordings.

This is basically very easy!! *Which probably explains how I figured it
out!!!*

  The chords are G Am F all the way through. However to get the NMA
sound the verses must be played using barre chords.

     G              Am             F

The changes are


G                  Am               F
Look out of you're window watch the sky......
    etc

Then for the chorus, the same chord progression is played but reverted
to basic chord formtion, i.e. major chords for a fuller sound with
more bass.

I play them like this

       G         Am      F
