just play the default one, it's probably what goes there. All of the chords are barred power chords that stretch
The EM7 is the only chord i feel i need to show as a chord the one directly below is how he plays it; I think.

EI saw an old lady one EM7time on Astor Place
Asteal an old man's glasses and F#punch him in the faceA  
Me and the others Bscreamed nothing.
E Dbm A
AAnd what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky
EAnd what's the difference if you Ablike being alive
AYeah what's the difference, 'cause we're Ball just gonna die.E  
Piano riff
EA crucifix and two framed EM7pictures of the pope
AI passed them all as I got F#evicted from my home.A  
My Catholic landlord Bscreamed "Amen."
E Dbm A
AWe don't believe in God or spirits in the sky.
EUnless we're desperate and Abneed to justify
Athe shitty things we do so Bwe apologize
Db"Ya gotta get rid of my guilt, God."E  
ABefore I fled the scene I smeared my shit along the baseboards
ETook the moldy foodstuffs, lined them Abup along the tile floor
AJerked off on the window screen, fridge open and toilet running
EBarely felt reprieve before the dAbeluge of regret caF#me floodingE  
ANow I can't get to sleep because I have this useless conscience.
EAnd I can't get revenge due to this Abstupid moral compass.
AAnd honestly I feel that all these Bfeelings aren't worth it in the Eend.

AWe don't believe in God or spirits in the sky
EUnless we're desperate or Abknow someone who died.
AWe gain perspective and a Bbrand new lease on life
DbmThen still do shitty things when Abthe moment arrives.
ASo what's the difference if the bombs fall from the sky
ESo what's the difference if you lAbike being aliveF#  E  
AYeah what's the fucking point of thinBking as you die
Dbm"Ya gotta forgive all my sins, God."
