Alright, this is a cool song and it's pretty simple, the main melody is 
emphasized by the horns, but I've tabbed it out so that you can have a 
guitarist play it if you want.

Main horn line:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|--4-5-4----------------|
D|--------5-0---5--7-7---|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|

Chorus (played under trumpets):
e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|-------5-------7----|
D|---5---5---5---7----|
A|---5---3---5---5----|
E|---3-------3--------|

Then let this chord ring while bass riffs:
e|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|----------------|
D|--5-------------|
A|--5-------------|
E|--3-------------|

Strum these chords and listen to CD for rhythm.

The verse follows a similar progression, but play with palm-muted chords in 
between, in classic punk rock form (PM = palm-mute):
e|-----------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------|
G|-------------55-5-55-5--77-7-77-7--------------|
D|--55-5-55-5--55-5-55-5--77-7-77-7--55-5-55-5---|
A|--55-5-55-5--33-3-33-3--55-5-55-5--55-5-55-5---|
E|--33-3-33-3------------------------33-3-33-3---|
    PM   PM    PM   PM    PM   PM    PM   PM 

The chorus is pretty much the same progression from the beginning:
e|-------------------|
B|-------------------|
G|-------5-------7---|
D|---5---5---5---7---|
A|---5---3---5---5---|
E|---3-------3-------|

Play four times and on the fourth time (the second "Fight tonight and we'll
be free") play this:
e|-----------------------|
B|-----------------------|
G|---------7-7-----------|
D|-5--5-5--7-7--5-5-5----|
A|-5--5-5--5-5--5-5-5----|
E|-3--3-3-------3-3-3----|

On the part where everyone chants the chorus, just keep hitting:
e|--------|
B|--------|
G|--------|
D|---5----|
A|---5----|
E|---3----|

That may not be totally perfect, but it's pretty damn close and it sounds
about right. Have fun!
