One plus one is one - Taken from 'Year of the Rat' (what a cracker!)
I've put most of the chords into the lyrics add the rest from previous verses. 
Intro
Gm--Am (slide) x 2
D#/ Eb   Bb   G   C  Bb  
Gm--G#/Abm--Am (picking strings A & D whilst sliding up)
Verse
            Am  D#/     Eb  Bb  
Back to being who I was before
GOpened all the Cdoors you tried to BbcloGmse
                  G#/  Abm  Am  
And how did that make me feel
I cracked the ceiling I stared at it too long
Tried to right the wrongs
Reverse the flow Now everybody's waiting outside
Trying to feel what's going on inside
Tried to turn the tide and we failed
GmAs the past meets the Amfuture
It gets clearer that it aGll boils dCown to lBbove   Am  
Chorus
D#/   Eb                 Bb    G               C        Bb                Gm  
And please Give me some peace Please give me some peace
Why can't you see that one plus one is one
Much greater then the sum of the parts
And nobody's waiting outside
I felt deceived I hid behind the sun
Its time to take the gun out of life
Every scene is like the one before
Its time to close the doors on myself
As the past becomes the future
It gets clearer that it still boils down to love and peace
Give me some peace
Please give me some peace
Back to being who I was before
Open up your door, hold me now
GmGive me some peace, Fhold me now
                          Gm   F  C* Bb  
Give me some peace, hold me now

While everybody's waiting outside
