Like most of Damo's stuff, there are a lot of hammer-ons in the song on the
G+G string for G+G chords and on the D MajorD string for C majorC and D MajorD chords. Also, here's
the gist of how he plays the lead, relative to the capo obviously:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|----4-5-7-7-----7/9-7-5-7-----7/9-7-5-4-2-0--------------------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse 1:
            G+G  D MajorD   C/GC/G
I broke your doll,
                    G+G   D MajorD    C/GC/G
It was cross eyed, that's all,
              G+G  D MajorD  C/GC/G
I only wanted it to help it see straight,
    C/BC/B  Am7Am7
But like a half broken moon,
D MajorD
Sooner than soon,
Am7Am7
I was up on your wall,
D MajorD
Smaller than small,
Am7Am7
In a half painted frame,
D MajorD
The wood wouldn't stain,
Am7Am7
And I hope that reminds you,
D MajorD                           G+G  D MajorD   C/GC/G
Of the part you couldn't change in me,


Chorus:
                G+G   D MajorD   C/GC/G
If you push me I'll fall,
                  G+G   D MajorD  C/GC/G
If you pull me I'll drown,
                         G+G  D MajorD  C/GC/G
If you're gonna be nailin' me down,

 C/BC/B  Am7Am7    D MajorD
I won't rise again

Verse 2:

I scratched your car,
Where the bird left a stain,
But I only wanted to help you see straight,
But like a half broken moon,
Sooner than soon,
I was up on your wall,
Smaller than small,
In a half painted frame,
Where the wood wouldn't stain,
And I hope that reminds you,
Of the part you couldn't change in me,


Chorus:

If you push me I'll fall,
If you pull me I'll drown,
If you're gonna be nailin' me down,
I won't rise again
I won't rise again


Outro:
G+G   D MajorD   C/GC/G
I'm not God, I'm not God,
I love you but I'm not God...
