[Chorus]
G# D# G# D#
The water is like turpentine
G#7sus4 G#7 D#
The meat I cannot chew
G# D# G#11 D#
The tax men only want my gold
G#7 G#13 D#
And rob it from my boot
G# D# F# D#
The law men threw me in here
G# G#7 D#
And tossed away the key
G# A# D# G#
If fate is nigh don't let me die
G#dim7 D#
In this strange country
[Verse]
G# D#
Went first into the city
G# D#
No trouble did I seek
G# D#
Until the law men of the crown
F# D#
Bound cuffs of iron on me
G# D#
But there was no trouble I had done
G# D#
No slander did I speak
G# D#
Wide eyed I was caught walking down
F# D#
The wrong side of the street
[Chorus]
G# D# G# D#
The water is like turpentine
G#7sus4 G#7 D#
The meat I cannot chew
G# D# G#11 D#
The tax men only want my gold
G#7 G#13 D#
And rob it from my boot
G# D# F# D#
The law men threw me in here
G# G#7 D#
And tossed away the key
G# A# D# G#
If fate is nigh don't let me die
G#dim7 D#
In this strange country
[Instrumental]
C# F# C# F#
A# B B D#
[Verse]
A# B
Can't tell a blessing from a curse
A# B7
It all sounds the same
A# B7
Don't understand a word they say
G# D#
Even when they speak my name
G# D#
I long to cross the border line
G# D#
And smell the new born hay
G# D#
But in this dungeon I will lie
F# D#
Until I rot away
[Chorus]
G# D# G# D#
The water is like turpentine
G#7sus4 G#7 D#
The meat I cannot chew
G# D# G#11 D#
The tax men only want my gold
G#7 G#13 D#
And rob it from my boot
G# D# F# D#
The law men threw me in here
G# G#7 D#
And tossed away the key
G# A# D# G#
If fate is nigh don't let me die
G#dim7 D#

I think you mean 'capo on the SECOND fret' which is what is shown in the video.
