The actual guitar part uses an alternative tuning but these chords work well. Sounds better if you add 
in some fingerpicking. I play it with the barre chords shown but if you tuned down a half step and
transposed this, open chords would also work well.

When Saturn returns I begin

To trust in patterns more than men

Eb Bb

Now I don't trust the echo anymore

[Chorus]

Are we free or afraid

Of what we're told

All these planets pulling me around

They pulled my face into a frown

Even though my minds made up

My mind's only made of dust

From stars and clouds and oceans all unseen
