Verse 1:

C5                 F5
Searching for the best break

Verse 2: play like verse 1 Intelligent, repectable But made of modest means With an independent spirit, So full of hopes and dreams Opportunity denied them in a Doomed and starving land Came these openhearted kindly spirits Of a truly threatened man Chorus: play like other chorus From the prison of their lonely hearts They labored long and hard Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C.

F5      C5    G5
Rowdy, roving men

With a firmness and a purpose That so many did dismiss

             C5
Sailed these huddled human ballasts on their 

F5        C5     G5
stinking coffin ships

Chorus: play like other choruses From the prison of their lonely hearts They labored long and hard Working 18 hour days for the B.A.C The B.A.C. The B.A.C. The B.A.C. F5 C5 That's it. There is actally a line after "They labored long and hard" but I couldn't hear what they were saying in the song and all the lyrics that I found didn't have it. Anyway, if you figure it out let me know. Later.
