[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

[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

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