I wanted to put this one out there, because the tabs that have
the right chords don't put them against the lyrics, plus I've
included the transitional chords the best I can. I hope you
enjoy it.
[Intro and verse chords:]

Chorus chords (these voicings give you the violin notes on the
top strings, especially if you ditch the Ebm7 for the Eb5 in
brackets. The Gbmaj7 needs your thumb for the bass string.

Where the chord change is on a half measure, the two chords are
connected by a hyphen (with spaces), e.g. Ebm7 - Gbmaj7.
Otherwise each chord is one measure; if a chord is played for two
measures, it's written in twice, except for the outro where the
timing becomes fluid – you're on your own there.
[Intro]
Ebm7 Ab7Ooh, Db9He - ey, Gbmaj7oh
Cm7-5 Bmaj7 Bb+5
What we're living in, let me tell ya
[Verse 1]
It's a Ebm7wonder man can Ab7eat at all
When Db9things are big that Gbmaj7should be small
Cm7-5 Bmaj7
Who can tell what magic spells
Bb+5 Ebm7
Will be doing for us?
And I'm Ebm7giving all my Ab7love to this world
Db9 Only to Gbmaj7be told
Cm7-5 Bmaj7
I can't see, I can't breathe,
Bb+5 Ebm7 – Gbmaj7
no more will we be
And Ab7nothing's going to change the Db9way we live
Gbmaj7 Cm7-5
Cos' we can always take but never give
Bmaj7 Bb+5
An' now that things're changing for the worse, see.
