Well, here's the chords, I think they're pretty darn accurate - I even took the track
and slowed it down so I could hear the guitar chords better. There's a lot of distortion
and awesome dissonance between the bass/guitar in this track... THE LYRICS ARE SO 
MUFFLED. There is NOT ONE official/good/correct standard on the web, so I will try my best.
[Intro]
  G    E    C    E(x4)
[Verse 1]
Well I'm Gbuilding a Emhighway Cback,
CBack to the Dheart of Athings,
AmNo love Cleft to Bmwalk back,D  
AmBack to the Gheart of Cthings...

GFalling Fabove and Cblack,
CAll our Dcity gone Ared,
AmWhen I get it Call for Bmyou,D  
AmI'm gonna Gget it Call...
DTrue...   True...
