This is my very first submission, so it's bound to be imperfect.  Sorry about the flaws!  
It works fine for me, though.
Intro:
 D     Em4x
D G   D   Em   D
Verse:
     DCoEmmet streams and the rocket scenes and cyclone-turning seas
 DThy Emfoes profanely rage
   D  EmHands washed, Pontius-Pilate-clean in proud Euphrates' stream 
 DWhere Emno one knows my name
Chorus:
 EmI'll be Glong, Dlong EmgoneD  
Verse:
    DTEmolling bells through Courchevel, all moon-rides, lifts are full
 DGo seaEmrch the world beneath. 
    DCEmladding breach at 3-mile beach, all spent fuel pools are full
 DIt's aEmll the same to me
Chorus:
 EmI'll be Glong, Dlong EmgoneD  
 I'll be lGong, lDong goneEm  
 GIn such fell repoDse, you suppose
 That mEmouth will fDinally cGlose
 When you're lEmong lDong goneEm?
Interlude:
Percussion, then...key change!
Dm    C    Dm   C   Gm    F    A
Part 2:
 DmI was born of a thought of mine
 I was the ISIS flag design
 GmYou were a Lilac Queen
FPaddling through your eA7mpire's streams
 DmI was born of a thought of mine
 Born of the stillborn heart of mine
 GmYou were the Werewolf King
FPeddling round your sA7apphire ring
 DmSoon is the swing of the Hammerhand
 Same is the low-flying day of the Vultureman
 GmCircling the earth I go
FSlobbering out my oA7atmeal wisdom:
 DmNearer the boots to the stolid floor
 Or restless thought to the waves of a foreign shore?
 GmRacing the sun, I rose
FHastening lest thy A7gates be closed;
But DmI, but I find, but I find
But I fiGmnd, dadadadada, dadadadadFa, dadadadadAa
that there is tiDmme
And then I didn't bother to figure out the outro....sorry.  Just play Dm forever. (;

Verse:

D Em

Comet streams and the rocket scenes and cyclone-turning seas

Thy foes profanely rage

Hands washed, Pontius-Pilate-clean in proud Euphrates' stream

D Em

Where no one knows my name

Chorus:

Em G D Em D

I'll be long, long gone

Verse:

D Em

Tolling bells through Courchevel, all moon-rides, lifts are full

D Em

Go search the world beneath.

D Em

Cladding breach at 3-mile beach, all spent fuel pools are full

D Em

It's all the same to me

Chorus:

Em G D Em D

I'll be long, long gone

G D Em

I'll be long, long gone

In such fell repose, you suppose

That mouth will finally close

Em D Em

When you're long long gone?

Part 2:

I was born of a thought of mine

I was the ISIS flag design

You were a Lilac Queen

F A7

Paddling through your empire's streams

I was born of a thought of mine

Born of the stillborn heart of mine

You were the Werewolf King

F A7

Peddling round your sapphire ring

Soon is the swing of the Hammerhand

Same is the low-flying day of the Vultureman

Circling the earth I go

F A7

Slobbering out my oatmeal wisdom:

Nearer the boots to the stolid floor

Or restless thought to the waves of a foreign shore?

Racing the sun, I rose

F A7

Hastening lest thy gates be closed;

But I, but I find, but I find

Gm F A

But I find, dadadadada, dadadadada, dadadadada

that there is time

And then I didn't bother to figure out the outro....sorry. Just play Dm forever. (;
