This should be about right. Apologies for not typing out the whole song, but it's just too long! 
I was Dborn in the town of Paisley in Gearly D1960
And placed in the care of an Gold eternal Abachelor
A Dstrict disciplinarian, a Gpassionate antiDquarian
His collection of myths and legGends was specAtacular
BmAs a younger man he'd Ambeen to see Japan
Where a Gmaster in a Awhite kimono Dtaught himA  
DIn a shining moment the Gmyth of the biDshonen
The youthful hero doGomed to fall like Ablossom
GAnd how could I G/F#forgive the Emugly fugitiG/F#ve
GWho brought me up accAording to a Dfantasy?A  
GFor when the old man Dstared at me
He F#mdrowned in evil Bmbeauty
EThinking of the Aearly death in sDtore for me
