The pattern is playing arpeggios on the lowest 3 strings
Chord - EAD
G - 320
Bm - 220
Em - 022
Em7 - 020 This is the last arpeggio at the end of Em

G                Bm
Now the mourners file in
Em                 Em7
Let the ceremony begin
G          Bm   Em    Em7
Unlock the rape gate

To your childhood country
To the slow-hand war
Their wrath has made scavengers of us all

And stripped us of our pride
And honorable fall
Their wrath has reduced us to thieves
Once and for all

[Break]
I play the verse progression with the following notes above each chord
G - G (e string)
Bm - F# (e str) then B (B str)
Em - G (G str)

Now your clouds are aching;
Aching with rain
Your laws are brown with age

And so I lay, shivering in the wet shade
Of the Fever Tree, all pale
With the waste of it all

[Break]

We all felt Rhodesia's youth
Ebbing away;
Leopard crawling in the dust and thorns
Leopard crawling in the dust and thorns
Leopard crawling in the dust and thorns
Leopard crawling in the dust and thorns
