OVERGROUND by SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES (1978)
Same chords for whole song.
I play the E and A as open chords and the F to G I find easier as bar chord as its a quick slide.
You'll need to listen to the song to get the timing as it is not 4:4
Verse:
E A F G
Break:
E (strum open chord 4 times)
I won't put chords above lyrics as Siousxie sings them all over the place, again listen to song.
Lyrics are:
Got to give up life in this netherworld
Gonna go up to where the air is stale
And live the life of pleasantries
And mingle in the modern families
Overground from abnormality
Overboard for identity
Overground for normality
Overboard for identity
This limbo is no place
To be a digit in another space
In another crowd
I'm nameless bound
Overground from abnormality
Overboard for identity
Overground for normality
Overboard for identity
Overground, I'll be worse than me
Overground, it's clear to me
Overground, I'll be worse than me
Overground, it's clear to me
Overground, I'll be worse than me
Overground, it's clear to me
I'll be worse than me
