Credit to BigBaws for the start.. he was mainly just missing the transition chords.

Intro - G+G
(by the way.. every transition is the "Dsus D" combo before the next chord)

D MajorD
My my my its a beautiful world
D MajorD
I like swimming in the sea

I like to go out beyond the white breakers
D MajorD
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
D MajorD
I like swimming in the sea

Chorus/bridge
G+G
All around is anger,  automatic guns
G+G
Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones
G+G
Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold
G+G
Said he'd been swamped by calls this week
       D MajorD
And he could not shake his coooooooooooold

V4
D MajorD
Still this emptiness persists
D MajorD
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
D MajorD
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
D MajorD
Now leave the party early at least with no regrets
D MajorD
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
D MajorD
Yeah this is as good as it gets

V5
D MajorD
My my my its a beautiful world
D MajorD
I like sleeping with Marie


D MajorD
She is one sexy girl - full of mystery
D MajorD
She says she doesn't love me but likes my company
D MajorD
For now that's good enough for me

V6
D MajorD
My my my its a beautiful world
D MajorD
I like swimming in the sea
D MajorD
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
D MajorD
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
D MajorD
I like swimming in the sea
