Verse:
E MajorE    A augmentedA    BB    A augmentedA   G# minorG#m       F# minorF#m      E MajorE
Furnish me with childish glee, walk me hold me take me to the
A augmentedA    BB      A augmentedA    G# minorG#m      F# minorF#m             E MajorE
American embassy and get me, signed up and delivered where you'll have
      A augmentedA       BB         A augmentedA        G# minorG#m
a brand new passport photo, from a brand new passport picture booth
       F# minorF#m        E MajorE
the film with teeth and hair and eyes,
  A augmentedA       BB         A augmentedA         G# minorG#m      F# minorF#m
and I smile in the flash bulb, in the flash bulb, in the flash bulb of fallen love
E MajorE   A augmentedA      BB     A augmentedA     G# minorG#m     F# minorF#m     E MajorE      A augmentedA
Hope, hope is the thing with feathers, butterflies flutter by my windowside
     BB      A augmentedA      G# minorG#m       F# minorF#m
it's over, it's over forever, or at least until the morning
   E MajorE   A augmentedA   BB           A augmentedA
and I shot you, I shot straight at your heart,
    G# minorG#m            F# minorF#m     E MajorE      A augmentedA
but the gun was that type with the little flag, that pops out
   BB       A augmentedA         G# minorG#m    F# minorF#m
that pops out, that pops out with the word BANG written on it

Chorus:
 G# minorG#m              A augmentedA
I watched you from a distance, I built myself a day,
F# minorF#m        BB    A augmentedA
just for waiting, just to hear you say
 E MajorE  A augmentedA      BB     A augmentedA     G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
"yes, I will come back to the house tonight"
E MajorE  A augmentedA      BB     A augmentedA     G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
yes, I will come back to the house tonight

Verse:
E MajorE       A augmentedA       BB       A augmentedA
I have just returned from a thousand year time trip
     G# minorG#m       F# minorF#m    E MajorE
and I'll tell you what I saw, I saw
     A augmentedA       BB     A augmentedA       G# minorG#m      F# minorF#m
children holding hands, children kissing in the park, and after dark
E MajorE     A augmentedA     BB        A augmentedA       G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m   E MajorE
spinning, spinning, spinning, and in everything an ice cold whiskey
       A augmentedA      BB      A augmentedA         G# minorG#m     F# minorF#m  E MajorE
and everybody lives forever, everybody lives together and dreams come true
     A augmentedA    BB   A augmentedA       G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m E MajorE
and I~ am swimming, I~ am swimming in a river of love
   A augmentedA      BB  A augmentedA       G# minorG#m   F# minorF#m     E MajorE
and I~ am pissing, I~ am pissing in my swimming trunks.
      A augmentedA      BB      A augmentedA   G# minorG#m    F# minorF#m   E MajorE
I can only guess, how it feels to be adored, sloop john b
       A augmentedA      BB   A augmentedA       G# minorG#m      F# minorF#m
watching you glistening, high upon the diving board, sloop, sloop

Chorus:
 G# minorG#m              A augmentedA
I watched you from a distance, I built myself a day,
F# minorF#m        BB    A augmentedA
just for waiting, just to hear you say
 E MajorE  A augmentedA      BB     A augmentedA     G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
"yes, I will come back to the house tonight"
E MajorE  A augmentedA      BB     A augmentedA     G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
yes, I will come back to the house tonight
E MajorE  A augmentedA  BB  A augmentedA            G# minorG#m  F# minorF#m
yes, yes, yes, I will come back to the house tonight


I believe this song is played with mostly bar chords, sometimes sliding from one to another a bit.
but whatever works for you :)
