From: bfrrelly@unix2.tcd.ie (Jerry Cornelius)

  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

-----3--------------5-------------1--------
-----3--------------5-------------1--------
-----4--------------5-------------2--------
-----5--------------7-------------3--------
-----5--------------7-------------3--------
-----3--------------5-------------1--------


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      
-------3---------0-------1--------
-------3---------1-------1--------
-------0---------2-------2--------
-------0---------2-------3--------
-------2---------0-------3--------
-------3---------0-------0--------


Changes are


              G    Am       f
This is the   51st state ....

   etc


Listen to the song. It helps immemsely. 
It sounds cool!!
