Tom:
I play the chorus like this (it's easier on guitar), but you can
use the "full" chords as well if you want to:
  F       Dm
Am/e

[Intro]
- Jazz Trumpet -
Chords in the intro are:
F
- Bb x3   and then   F - C7      (C7 is simplified for guitar)

[Verse]
(All chords are played for 2 beats each unless otherwise noted)
  F        Am          Gm          C
What is a cold blooded mad man to do
         F               Am           Gm           C
With a smile across his teeth and attached full of goo
        Dm              Am      Bb          F
And it cuts through my junk and smash up my eyes
  Dm       C
Gm (x2)
And sings like a song before you die

[Chorus]
F          Am/E       Dm       Bb
Sunny day shooting breakfast bedheadings
  Gm  Bb/F  C
Gmadd9/F#
Lunchtime wartime armaggedon
  F     Am/E
Dm (x2)
God tell me what to do
Gm (x2)          C (x2)
It's a perfect time for love

[Verse 2]
F       Am    Gm      C
Never a punk smile so wide
F          Am     Gm          C
Never have teeth sing so much sky
         Dm          Am      Bb          F
And it smash up my junk and screws up my eyes
  Dm       C
Gm (x2)
And it sings like a song before you die

[Chorus 2]
F            Am/E    Dm       Bb
Mountaintop chokings afternoon rapists
  Gm  Bb/F  C
Gmadd9/F#
primetime wartime I can't take it
  F     Am/E
Dm (x2)
God tell me what to do
Gm (x2)     C (x2)
Is it time for love?

[Bridge]
D7 (x2)        D7/F#
Whatever colors you wear
  Gm  Bb/F  C
Gmadd9/F#
They are gonna bleed someday
  F     Am/E
Dm (x2)
Some    rainbow   day
Gm (x2)     C (x2)
We'll have the perfect time
[Interlude] (verse chords in the key of G):
G   Bm   Am   D   G   Bm   Am   D   Em   Bm   C   G   Em   D   Am

[Chorus 3]
G         Bm/F#    Em       C
Skipping hugging laughing singing
  Am  C/G  D
Amadd9/G#
Dancing romancing spinning singing
  G    Bm/F#
Em (x2)
God tell me what to do
Am (x2)    D (x2)
It's a perfect time for love
  G    C       G      C       G     D7
(like the intro, only in the key of G)
With you

Progression and practice

Detected progression: F → Dm → Am/e → F → Bb → F → C7 → F

The harmony or tempo is more demanding. Work on the hard changes before playing the whole song.

  • Start at 60 BPM. Speed up once you can keep time without stopping.
  • Practice the two hardest chord changes first, then go back to the whole song.
  • Use the transpose button if the key feels uncomfortable for your voice or the chord shapes you know.
