This is a great song, interesting chord changes.
I've written out exactly how I play it, thus the seemingly staggering list of chords --
while there are a lot of different ones, some are repeats of the same chords on
parts of the neck.
I'm just trying to be helpful by writing them all out, in the order they appear.

(Even though the last part ends on Bb and this part starts on Bb,
I change from Bb1 to Bb2 to get closer to the lower F,
there's a pause anyway, might as well.)

I woke up on the street
E(barre) G#
So apprehensive, feeling weak
And as I C#finally tried to F#speak
G(open) D A(open)
Twelve birds flew straightways from my mouth
Bb1 A(barre)
I circled high above the sky
E(barre) G#
Began to cry with piercing sounds
A crowd gC#athered on the F#ground
G(open) D A(open)
All speaking strangely through their teeth
Bb1 A(barre)
I felt alone and in my creep
E(barre) G#
I spoke once more into the wind
A storm of C#birds contained thereF#in
E(open)
Began to spin, to spin
Bb1 A(barre) E(barre) G#
C# F# E(open)
D G(open)
Your eyelids are made of lead
F#7 You can't keep them Bmup
C G(barre)
Cause its sleepytime
And F1that's no Ebcrime in the Bb/Dwestern woC7rld
Cause when the sun goes down
You’re bound to folloEbw through
Sleeping through the aBb/Dfternoon
I F2just can't Ebseem to Bb/Dleave my C7room
Waiting Ebfor the moon and a Bb/Dlove so true
It's gonna C7see me through
You Ebknow it's gonna see me Bb1through
