It's played in D tuning (DGCFAd), as in tuned down a full step. For simplicity the chords are treated as if it was in standard (EADGBe) The intro is based around E major, you play the top string parts with your baby finger d|---2--2--0-----2--3--0---| A|---0-----------0---------| F|---1-----------1---------| C|-------------------------| G|-------------------------| D|-0----------0------------| Here are the chords. Note the D/F# is a transition from G down to Em (and C, sometimes). It's like this: d|------------------| A|--3---------------| F|--2---------------| C|--0---------------| G|------------------| D|--2---------------| Likewise when moving back and forth from A to C in the pre-chorus you transition via a B bass note.

^E.. Go on parade and f^Gade ^D/F#Hit the ceiling sl^Cow ^GSpending all your time wit^D/F#h some g^Emirl You'll n^Dever get to kn^Cow ^GWound ^D/F# up t^Cight ^GDressed all in w^Emhite Some ^Dtorn main s^Aail Blowing out to dr^Cift ^A ... Leave you even ^Cif ^D

Chorus: You're going up half-steps from the C all the way to Em. The C#m7b5 has this shape: d|------------------| A|--5---------------| F|--4---------------| C|--5---------------| G|--4---------------| D|------------------| Then your D will be a bar chord with 5th fret fifth string as bass note, then the D#m7b5 is just the C#m7b5 shape above moved up two frets (6th fret bass note) so your Em will have the 7th fret as your bass note.

Repeat chorus, finish on C Here's some of the lead guitar parts which play over the verse. .. Spending all your time .... Wound up tight ..
