"You are lost and disillusioned!"
what an awful thing to say.
I know this show doesn't matter.
It means nothing to me.
I thought I might help them understand
but what an ugly thing to see.
"I am not an animal"
subtitled under the screen.
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper

When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break.
I sat silent 5 commercuials
I had nothing left to say
The talk show host was index-carded
All organized and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened
What a sad parade.
What a sad parade
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper

Anyway, I have tabbed the little lead in from the verses to the chorus
for New Test Leper, and also the chords to strum over the tab. Here
goes.

Enclosed is my slightly different attempt at working out the basic chord
structure of this song - (taken from the acoustic version).
(I've done it as 'corrections' to the version you already had)
>NEW TEST LEPER
>
>the verse goes like this:
>A*:540005
>
>D A G -A* D A G (4x, me thinks)
(This bit is more or less right - though on the slide up to the fifth fret
I'm not sure if the bass notes are being played)
>the chorus (im pretty sure about this) goes like this:
>
>G A B C D C(3x) G A B C D (that may be wrong - it's >from memory)
>
>Bridge:
>Bm A D(4x, me thinks)
>and end on Em(7?)
I would guess the chorus is:
A, Bm, C#m, D
A, G ('Call me a leper')
(on last time - just A)
And the bridge I would say is:
(Bm, D, G X2), A
