We always want the guitar chords. :-) I always play "Hero of Canton" in Am though.

^^^*listens to page* Hey, it looks like i'm not alone!
I do have a crappy Myspace artist page, but the music doesn't seem to want to work properly.
Here's the chords for "Browncoat", I hope they work:
Song: Browncoat
Artist: Greg Bates
Album: Hail the Evil Empire
*Capo 2nd Fret*
*all notes relative to capo*
Intro:
C-G-(D + riff 1)
riff 1:
e I-3-2-0-2-0-----I
B I-----------3---I
G I-------------2-I
Verse:
C G D
I've got posters on the wall...(etc.)
Chorus
Am D G D
Cause I'm a Browncoat, and i'll never fade away,
Am D G D
yeah i'm a Browncoat, I aim to misbehave,
Am D G Em
yeah i'm a Browncoat, George Lucas let me down,
C D Em
I'm a Browncoat, Joss Whedon is my master now...
(hold Em into next verse)
Em C G D
I've got movie ticket stubs...(etc.)
*Chorus 2 is the same as Chorus 1*
Bridge:
Coming off the last Em, you play Em-C-G-D three/four times, then come
in on the last D with the chorus-
D Am D G D
Cause I'm a Browncoat, and we've got a series to save,
Am D G D
yeah i'm a Browncoat, I aim to misbehave,
Am D G Em
yeah i'm a Browncoat, we speak Chinese when we cuss,
C D Em
And you know you can't take the sky from us....
C D D D G
no, no... you can't take the sky from us!
--------------------------------------------------
Then if you want to go into Hero of Canton, you'd play C-Am for it, like so...
C
Jayne!
C
the man they call Jayne!
C Am
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor...etc
Have fun!

well, maybe your singing voice isn't the greatest,
but the song is wonderful (lyrics and tune are great)
and your guitar playing is really good
thank you so much for sharing!
(in true Browncoat fashion)
