The acoustic part of this song is basically just G. Here is what the electric guitar plays.

Intro:
G+G G MajorG


Verse:
C majorC
Lo, and lo!
     G+G
There aren’t queens, ho!
      C majorC
There are streets you paint with gold
   G+G        C majorC
And dreams told of?pearl
      C majorC
Stung?with lanterns bright
               G+G
With?promise since earned by day
 C majorC
Spurned to?fright
      C majorC
Tuned to phantoms a-flail and scorched into sky

Chorus:
G+G            C majorC
Forgive, forgive what’s kind
    C majorC
Make believe, make believe
                      G+G
Poppies make ‘em sleep like a witch dooms mine
   C majorC                 G+G
Make believe, make believe midnight’s chime


Verse 2:
       G+G     C majorC
‘Cause they closed the cantina
N.C.
They closed the cardinal rouge
G+G         C majorC
They drove ‘ol Angelina
N.C.
Shuttered her with dread
   C majorC          G+G
Oh, hearth, hearth of a great war
   C majorC
Your first chance fills my hand
        G+G
Penultimate and vast

Interlude:
G+G G MajorG


Verse 3:
C majorC            G+G
Say it so, there aren’t queens, lo!
     C majorC
By what means though shall we reign
     G+G        C majorC
‘Gainst pitched black and Union Jack
   C majorC
Your gods aren’t coming back
N.C.
The owl’s in the knave
N.C.
Ghost-cinders, tinder-safe


Chorus:
G+G      C majorC
Forgive, forgive what’s asked
    C majorC
Make believe, make believe
                      G+G
Poppies make ‘em sleep like a witch churns ash
    C majorC
Make believe, make believe
       G+G
My loom and lash
    C majorC
Make believe, make believe
       G+G
My loom and lash
