2nd verse is quite much like the 1st one, give or take a few
variations:


------------7--|------------------------|------------|-
----------7----|--------------8---8-7-6-|-------6----|-
---------------|------------7---7-------|-(5-5)---5--|- (goes on same as
---------------|------------------------|------------|-   1st verse)
---------------|------------------------|------------|-
---------------|------------------------|------------|-
        (repeat)                        

...reports      ...treason

---------------7-9---7----|-----------4---4-------|-
-----------9-9-----9------|---------7---7---7-5---|-
--------------------------|---------------------7-|-

...reason               The "phrase" marked (*) above is also a bit
                        shortened.
