The song is by the Aussie band GINGER TOM which came out here on the

The singer uses standard tuning on his Strat. The lead guitarist plays 
a Gibson 335 with a brass slide, and has a dropped D tuning.

Slide Guitar Intros
The slide guitar has a dropped-D tuning. I’ve used the = symbol to 
indicate a slide emphasis. This is the first intro:

Lyrics from the Ginger Tom official web site:

I can see hypocrisy in defending democracy
By denying liberty at home and away
I can’t say I’d rather stay at Woomera or Camp X-Ray
Telling all the children their religion’s astray

You wanna see the Vietnamese 
At the Museum of American Atrocities, and ask 
Hey, Hey, USA: how many children did you kill today?

I can’t see the merit in our status as a deputy sheriff
Taking marching orders from the USA
Can’t you see there’s something wrong
To repress dissent with cluster bombs
For a Christian crusade in a modern age

You oughta see all the refugees 
From the Museum of American Atrocities, and ask 
Hey, Hey, USA: how many children did you kill today?

I’d rather see some common sense in arguments in parliaments
Rather than the armaments of racist wars
