So yeah, the other tab was pretty bad, and the pattern wasn't in the same galaxy as
and there's no Em7 in the entire song, so I felt it was my duty to provide a correct tab. Enjoy

Well, I climbed the highest mountain in the hills that I could find
There I met an old man with a nation on his mind
He said "son, you wouldn't know it, but this country's up a creek"
And I just sat and listened as the wise old man did speak
Chorus:
Let's send our future overseas to die in foreign lands
The purple mountains waste away as we hold out our hands
Mother nature never stopped to cry out in her pain
But when the factories tore out her heart, she wept in acid rain
Pattern 1
Well, I thanked the old man for his news and travelled on my way
I rambled down to Washington, head full of things to say
I stopped in at the White House, where the man makes his foul bed
And I said "I got something to tell you, man", and this is how it read
Chorus:
Let's brew a pot of Texas tea steeped in crafty lies
While our former cause for liberty will lead to our demise
War is all we've ever known, and greed is what it bred
But keep your fingers on your triggers, boys, your brain's not all that's
Dead
Keep repeating chorus progression, then pattern 1, listen to the ending, it's the same
you SHOULD be able to figure it out
