100 years of solitude - Levellers 
From eponymous album
It like to play the song using barre chords: Bm     , A   , G      D   
and Bm(II) in the "things you learnt" bit
you could use power (5th) chords.  They often use "normal" open position chords live
////  ////  ////  ////
   Bm|    G|    D|  A  
Bm   (N.C)                             fade out w/vol or whatever
All around you slow decay
Wanna feel the sun of a new day
Forget all tme chances lost
Shedding innocence like falling dust
All the Bmthings you learned too Gyoung
The Bmsongs you knew but Gnever sung
BmWaited a long time and Gwasted more
ForDgotten what you Awaited for
ExBmcuse me Ama'am for Gbeing so rude
Feels like D100 years of Asolitude
My Bmmind is Anumb but my Gmouth's ok
And you can lDisten or Awalk away
   Bm|    G|    D|      Ax2
Bm   (N.C)
No solutions built to last
Just your petty scores to settle fast
The n.m.e was nothing to yGou
And the mDaker, well the maAker of who
This Bmwalkman geneGration
In Bmsearch of sweet sedGation
While Bmforests choke under a'Glever sky
And the eDxxon birds that'll Anever fly

This life's like a white knuckle ride

Crack babies born too young

So foBmrget this so called Gdirt of mine
It's tust the Bmdust and diesel of Gpassing time

So forDget the cover and Aread the book.
