This  comes from this acoustic session that Sam did. It's a very simplified version. 
Works for me, hopefully everyone else finds it helpful.

Capo II
C
 May your eyes be wide and seeing
F
 May your learn from the view where you're kneeling
C
 Know the fear of the world that you're feeling
G
 Is the fear of a slave
C
 May you know how the fight was started
F
 Want as much for the snake as the garden
C                       G
 Wear them both like a glove
               C
 That you can wave
C
 May your mouth betray your wisdom
F
 May you get what they fail to mention
C
 May your love be your only religion
G
 Preach it to us all
C
 May you lose what you offer gladly
F
 May you worship the time and it's passing
C                   G
 stars won't ever wait for you
                C
 to watch them fall
Am
 We're the smoke on a burnt horizon
F
 We're the boat on a tide that's rising
C
 Both the post and the pig you're untying
G
 Butcher gone for the blade
Am
 Someday we may all be happy
F
 Someday all make a face worth slapping
C
 Someday we may be shocked to be laughing
G
 At the way we behave
C
 May your hands be strong and willing
F
 May you know when to speak and to listen
C
 May you find every friend that you're missing
G
 There's no check in the mail
C
 May you end up bruised and purple
F
 Know that peace is the shape of a circle
C                    G
 Round and round you go
              C
 Biting your tail
         CFCGC
(Bridge:     )
Am
 We're the children and the wind is whipping
F
 The short hands on the clock still ticking
C
 Both the egg and the red fox grinning
G
 His belly full for the day
Am
 Someday we may all want nothing
F
 And all forget that we'll get what's coming
C
 Someday all say the world was something
G
 That we just couldn't change
C
 May your tongue be soft and wicked
F
 Know your part in the calf and the killing
C
 See straight through the captain you're kissing
G
 Helm loose in his hand
C
 May your words be well worth stealing
F
 Put your hand on your heart while singing
C                    G
 Choirs sick of the song
                      C
 But they still gotta stand
 C  G  C
